NewsGuard 2.0: 'Media Bias' Tracker 'Ad Fontes' Overwhelmingly Favors Leftist Media

Ad Fontes, a company that purports to rank the bias and trustworthiness of news source, is itself overwhelmingly biased in favor of leftist media, per analysis from the Media Research Center (MRC).

Virtually all of them, like the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) end up functioning as blacklists, used to advise advertisers and tech companies which news outlets to demonetize and suppress. Now, the spotlight is on another such company: Ad Fontes.

Moreover, the methodology that Ad Fontes uses to rank media outlets is shrouded in mystery. Ad Fontes says it deploys teams of three individuals, one from the political right, one from the left, and one from the center, to assess media outlets. Yet Ad Fontes never reveals who these people are.
