    MBFC calls both The Guardian and Breitbart “MIXED” in their factual accuracy. For Breitbart? It’s because they’re an alt-right disinformation factory which as a policy denies fundamental and provably true scientific facts like climate change, spreads baseless, trivially disproven conspiratorial nonsense, and intentionally misleads readers left and right. For The Guardian? Well they’ve failed five fact checks in the last five years, and these fact checks are as robust as, umm…

    “Private renting is making millions of people ill.”

    “Private renting is making millions of people ill, but maybe this happens with other housing situations too, we don’t know, so we rate this as false.”

    MBFC is a joke, and this bot is a pathetic sham.

      From memory if you dig further most of those five have been retracted or corrected by The Guardian too. Apparently this does not impact the factuality rating in this case although I have seen MBFC make special note of corrections issued when it comes to other publications.
