Media Bias Fact Check: Incompetent or Dishonest? By James D Agresti April 24, 2017
As Just Facts grows in prominence and reputation, an increasing number of scholars, major organizations, and eminent people have cited and recognized the quality work of Just Facts. With this higher profile, Just Facts has also been subject to deceitful attacks. A recent example of such comes from “Media Bias Fact Check,” an “independent media outlet” that claims to be “dedicated to educating the public on media bias and deceptive news practices.”
In the opening paragraph of her review of Just Facts, Media Bias Fact Check contributor Faith Locke Siewert writes:
On their article http://www.justfacts.com/racialissues.asp#affirmative, they use the Richard Sander’s (law professor at UCLA) essay “A Systematic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools.” To support much of their hypothesis, obviously against affirmative action (seeming also to support the notion of black intellectual abilities being inferior).
Those two sentences contain three demonstrable falsehoods:
“A Systemic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools” is not just an essay. It is a peer-reviewed journal paper that was published in the Stanford Law Review. Big difference. Just Facts does not use this paper to support “much of” its research on affirmative action. The research contains more than 60 footnotes, and this paper is just one of them. Just Facts’ full research on racial issues has 498 footnotes, and this paper is two of them.
Just Facts does not offer any “hypothesis” in this research, much less “support the notion of black intellectual abilities being inferior.” To the contrary, the opening section of Just Facts’ research on racial issues covers the topic of science and presents multiple facts that challenge that notion.
The flagrant and simplistic nature of these bogus critiques suggests that Media Bias Fact Check is either inept and/or dishonest.
Why does it say 'WSJ | OPINION' at the top of the page?
Boy for someone who claims this place is just their "troll forum" you sure seem invested in this argument Gwad.
Ya defending a position with opinion pieces got me doing mental calisthenics over here.
Is it an opinion or a fact that stupid site (Tax Policy Center) is funded by the Liberal Brookings Institute (a Liberal think-tank that sold its soul to Qatar) and the Liberal Urban Institute? Simple question.
Your ability to not see the difference between actual facts and opinions based on those facts should I guess be understood given your cognitive abilities displayed around here...
RIGHT-CENTER BIAS These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.
In summary, this is a factual website from a sourcing standpoint and impressively researched. It does however convey a right leaning bias through story selection that is more favorable toward conservative causes and more negative toward liberal policy.

right or left center is just means extreme right or left? I'm just going off your previous comments Race.

You guys seem really emotionally invested in your positions. Sorry If I have caused you discomfort. The risk seemed worth while as you seem to lean on each other for validation when presented with information that conflicts with your interpretation of reality.

I could care less about fact-check sites on either side. I've asked several times now...is the Tax Policy Center funded or not funded by the Liberal Brookings Institute (who sold their soul to Qatar) and the Liberal Urban Institute?
Simple question...you are the one having a meltdown avoiding it...

Worse yet it is also funded by the Ford Foundation which is a wacko liberal organization. If Henry Ford could see the foundation he started looking like it does today he would roll over in his grave.
