I trust my sources advertising it too, but things with big budgets are often not what they seem, both to us and possibly to our sources as well.
Do we know who or what is funding it? Do we have a clear and open set of criteria for media classification? Haven’t seen anyone talk about that in advertisements…
I just went through its FAQ for the purposes of this reply and it says founders are ex-NASA and ex-Bain (global management consulting company)… If this doesn’t sound like a US Intel thing to you at this point, I doubt we’ll agree on anything else. If you’re willing to entertain that notion, however, it also says:
“Bias and factuality ratings are averaged from the published ratings from three third-party independent news publication monitoring organizations, when available”
Which are:
All Sides
Ad Fontes Media
Media Bias Fact Check
So there you go if you want to tumble further down this one. I think I’m good about paying for this service, though. I guess making a large scale project like this one without selling off part of your soul to one devil or another is just not feasible. Oh, well.

Thank you for the time and opinion!
Probably going to do a little more digging before I make a decision, and I appreciate your help.
