In what ridiculous fantasy world is VOA LEAST BIASED??!?? They’re state-owned media! They do good factual reporting, but they’re US biased to the core! That’s they’re whole damn job!
The long-range interests of the United States are served by communicating directly with the peoples of the world by radio.
THATS THE FIRST. SENTENCE. OF THEIR CHARTER.
Look their work is good and they are important, but just what the hell does MBFC think “bias” means??
It’s crucial to note that our bias scale is calibrated to the political >spectrum of the United States, which may not align with the >political landscapes of other nations.
From their methodology page.
They aren’t rating for any and all bias. They are rating for political bias within the context of the US political landscape.
Which makes it even more absurd considering some of their other ratings. They rate The Washington Post as leftist. The Washington Post. The newspaper for respectable Republicans owned by the platonic ideal of a capitalist. The newspaper every movie and television show in the nation uses to show what the Republicans think about something while they use the New York Times to show what the Democrats think about something. When they say they’re telling you the US political landscape they’re just lying. It’s a garbage bot using a garbage source.
That’s not even to speak of all the other terrible problems with this source that have been documented by others elsewhere which I encourage you to read.

Yeah, if I wanted a paper as a capitalist/conservative symbol, I’d use the WSJ.
Anyway, MBFC is garbage and this bot is actively harmful.
You should make a better bot :)
A bot for what? Just posting a comment every time saying “consider the source” or something? Because there is no truly unbiased evaluation of sources.
But TV and movies disagree with you so you’re wrong
The Conservative newspaper in DC is The Washington Times
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Times
And in NYC, the Conservative paper is the New York Post
(Once you click the other link to Wikipedia, you can go look it up yourself without having to actually look at with paper.)
So:
In NYC, Times <=> Post
In DC, Post <=> Times
