  • They themselves say that what they do only applies to US politics, so reporting on Israel and Palestine is out of scope in the first place. But their definition of bias is also weird.

    While this updated methodology reduces the influence of a strictly U.S.-centric political spectrum, it remains primarily tailored to the political landscape of the United States. This ensures that evaluations are relevant to a significant audience while acknowledging that some biases in the U.S. context may not apply exactly in other countries where terms like “Liberal” may have a different meaning. Readers should consider this when comparing sources with political systems from other countries.

    Perhaps it’s more apt to say Western than the US, but it’s still generally applicable. The part about the US is also relevant to the bias, not the factuality.

    They explain the overall definition of bias inside the methodology, where they compare the different kinds of bias to make the final definition.

    The economic system of a news outlet depends on whether that news outlet is public, private, or government. For example, the BBC doesn’t need to worry about viewership or ad revenue because it gets its funding from the government.

    You can view how they rate bias on each outlet’s page. Neutral language and fact-based reporting are the key defining factors for their bias.

    But if you don’t want to use it, you don’t have to.
