Wikipedia1 +
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.

Trump’s Tariffs Threaten EU, UK Gains AdvantageStarting June 1, the US may impose 50% tariffs on EU goods, sparing the UK due to a recent trade agreement with the US.
- President Trump intends to introduce tariffs up to 50% on European Union imports to counter the €200 billion trade surplus.
- Negotiations with the EU remain complicated by non-tariff barriers like regulations and technology taxes.
- The UK’s recent trade deal with the US lowers tariffs on British goods to about 9%, with zero tariffs on steel and aluminium.
- The tariffs would severely impact key EU industries including German car manufacturers and Irish pharmaceuticals.
The EU does not do trade deals in a few hours — this is simply not the way the bloc works.— Agathe Demarais, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
