Grade composition
The overall rating is made up of the following individual ratings from independent third parties:
Ad Fontes Media13 +, 7 -
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.
    Reliability (Weighted Average)
  • "Medium"
Media Bias/Fact Check14 +, 6 -
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.
Fact Checkers1 -
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.
Journalism Awards1 +
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.
Wikipedia
Wikipedia's reliability was often criticized in the 2000s but has improved over time; in the late 2010s and early 2020s, it was universally praised. Any positive mention of a source in the extract of a Wikipedia page in terms of credibility and quality gets a plus point, and vice versa.
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.
  • There have been no press council rulings against the 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.
  • There are no evaluations of studies available to date.

NEW: Supreme Court rejects a bid by former President Trump adviser Peter Navarro to avoid reporting to prison to serve a four-month sentence for defying a ... Show more
Quick Glance: Justice Roberts denies Navarro's final attempt to avoid prison
  • Former White House advisor Peter Navarro must report to prison on Tuesday after U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts rejected his final attempt to stay free while appealing his contempt of Congress conviction.

  • Navarro has been ordered to report to a Miami prison on Tuesday afternoon to begin his sentence, making him the first key advisor to former President Trump to serve jail time over efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

  • Although Navarro may be the first Trump White House official to serve time for evading Congress, he wasn't the first to be found guilty of the charge. Former White House advisor Steve Bannon faced two counts of contempt of Congress last year, resulting in a four-month prison sentence. However, a different judge allowed Bannon to remain free while he appeals his case.

  • Bannon defended his case before a federal appeals court in November and has not yet started serving his sentence.
