Grade composition
The overall rating is made up of the following individual ratings from independent third parties:
Wikipedia
Wikipedia’s reliability was frequently criticized in the 2000s. However, various studies and media reports have noted improvements over time, and in the late 2010s and early 2020s, it was more often praised.
In the scoring model, any positive mention of a source’s credibility or quality in a Wikipedia extract receives a plus point—while negative mentions are treated as minus points.

Media Bias/Fact Check
Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) is an American fact-checking website founded in 2015. It uses a 0-10 scale to rate sites on two areas: bias and factual accuracy. A source rated by MBFC with minimal bias gets 10 plus points. Maximum bias gets 10 minus points. The same principle applies to factual accuracy.
- MBFC-rating was not found.
Fact Checkers
We primarily use fact-checkers affiliated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). We have linked to the International Fact-Checking Network fact-checkers' code of principles in the headline. For each failed fact-checker there is one minus point.
- We have not identified any failed fact checks to date.
Journalism Awards
Journalism prizes are awards for excellent journalistic work in the period covered by the call for entries, which is usually one or two years. Sources receive one plus point for each journalistic award won that we track. We currently track up to three prestigious awards per country.
- We have not identified any awards for editorial or journalistic quality.
Press Council Rulings
Press councils are national institutions of media self-regulation. Press councils have their own defined press code. Reprimands are issued in the event of a violation of the press code (e.g. for truthfulness, diligence, sensationalism, separation of advertising and editorial, personal rights). For each reprimand issued by a national press council, a source receives one minus point.
- We are not aware of any press council rulings against this source to date.
Studies
Most scientific publications, though not all, rely on some form of peer review or editorial review to qualify texts for publication. Sources mentioned in studies which rate media quality and/or reliability receive between 10 plus and 10 minus points.
- We have not identified any evaluations by academic studies to date.
Ad Fontes Media
Ad Fontes Media, Inc. is a media watchdog organization based in Colorado that is best known for its Media Bias Chart, which ranks media sources based on political bias and reliability. We combine their ratings of individual articles and episodes to create a weighted average, with low-rated items increasingly weighted higher.
- An Ad Fontes Media rating has not been found.

- A gold-painted statue depicting Donald Trump embracing Jeffrey Epstein in a Titanic-style pose was installed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
- Titled ‘The King Of The World,’ the artwork was created by the anonymous collective Secret Handshake and critiques the nature of their relationship.
- Banners near the statue feature a photo of Trump and Epstein with the phrase ‘Make America Safe Again’ and a redacted Justice Department insignia.
- The White House dismissed the installation and challenged the absence of similar sculptures portraying Democrats linked to Epstein after his conviction.
"When will these wealthy Democrat donors create sculptures of Democrats… who continued to solicit money and meetings from Epstein after he was convicted as a sex offender?" said deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson in a statement to TIME.— Abigail Jackson, deputy press secretary, in a statement to TIME

- Migros is withdrawing from the German market by selling the Tegut supermarket chain to Edeka and other buyers.
- Edeka intends to incorporate roughly 200 of Tegut’s more than 300 stores into its cooperative network.
- The Tegut brand is expected to disappear by the end of 2026, with employees informed about the process.
- The transaction awaits approval from the Federal Cartel Office and will cause significant impacts on Migros’ 2025 financial results.
The decision to sell Tegut was extremely difficult for us. The great commitment of colleagues over the challenging past months deserves my highest respect. Nevertheless, the analysis clearly showed that a full sale under the current market conditions offers the best long-term perspective for all involved — especially for the employees, but also for the customers.", said Patrick Pörtig, CEO of Migros Zürich.— Patrick Pörtig, CEO of Migros Zürich, said
