    MeidasTouch does not have a reputation for giving factual information

    prove it, where are the lies and misinformation?

    The real question is why you think its not okay to call out bad sources if they are left leaning. No, the real question is why you think left leaning bias = bad source.

    MBFC says this:

    Overall, we rate MeidasTouch Left Biased based on the negative portrayal of Donald Trump and Republicans and the promotion of Democratic candidates. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of transparency with funding and the publication of one-sided content that can be misleading.

    None of that has anything to do with false ‘facts’ and the like, bias doesn’t equal bad source until said bias leads to the degradation of truth in the reporting.

    trying to defend meidastouch despite a documented history of being fast and lose with facts and truth.

    again, where is the proof? You can’t just speak things into existence. YOU are the one bringing this accusation, so YOU are the one with the onus to provide proof of said accusations.
