      MBFC guy has no credentials to justify his credibility. Dawn is a hugely popular website and MBFC’s lack of rating is a sign that MBFC’s ratings are poor, not that Dawn is a poor source.

      MBFC does ok for mainstream US sources but falls apart outside of them.

        So you pick a random news site and read all their articles or do you search for additional coverage after seeing it on somewhere else?

            You don’t worry that limits you to stories that are already covered by your preferred news sources?

            To be clear - I don’t think you’re headline shopping, but I think you might be missing out on coverage of topics - choice of coverage is an important part of media bias.

              It depends. If it’s a general topic covered by most outlets, most people have probably know about it. So I pass on those. My goal is engagement and informing, so the more controversial the better. I try to find offbeat news that isn’t covered by main places.
