    What a bunch of cowards.

    They clearly are afraid of doing one too many fact checking and offending one of Trump’s minions.

      I think it was more about low usage, and there being better options out there that did the same thing

    I never knew Google had a fact checking service.
    But i can (maybe) recommend a alternative Media Bias Fact Check Also has a browser extension for Chromium/Chrome and Firefox
    edit: due to the comments i did some background check they seem fine for some stuff but i saw they rate ADL as “left-center” and i know ADL is Israeli propaganda
    edit 2: I recommend comparing MBFC With this list

          What do you mean “is there proof”.

          MBFC isnt some professional shit. It’s some guys opinions about websites.

          It’ll call something like the economist which has endorsed the UK conservative party in the past decade “center left” for not being straight up facist.

          It’s not a very high quality thing.

          Best is to just actually look at their rating for places you know of or trust. Then go to any that cover middle east heavily. But easist is to look at USA propaganda orgs like Radio Free Asia where while they say they rank down propaganda sources are happy to rank it highly

      Mbfc is just one dude’s opinion. Also he calls the associated press and CNN leftist news outlets. It’s quite stupid.
