Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
I’m disappointed. A quick glance reveals the fact that you’re not even trying. The 7/22 page features, among other things, the claim that vaxxed people get COVID with a higher frequency than those naturally immune from infection- deemed false with the explanation that non-vaxxed people get sick with higher frequency than vaccinated. Why? Non-vaxxed people are entirely outside of the subject of the claim. You’re the fact-checkers? Considering your glaring lack of basic reading comprehension, how can we trust your conclusions? Why should we?
