MUST HAVE!!!
If you read news and want to know if your source is at least factual get this! Its ok to have a biases news source but it better be High or Very high in factual reporting! If its not I suggest you tak ewhat they say with a grain of salt. This could have saved so many Americans as its obvious they believed a lot of non factual news and now are pretty messed up :(

I want to love this, but I cannot figure out how to get the collapse to work.

Pretty much indispensable - everyone should install this. Sure it's not perfect, as it only rates the website, and not the article itself, but it is still pretty darn useful. It would be good if it could include links to the fact checking sites for specific articles that have been investigated.

Very useful, helps me not waste time on articles that are clearly too biased one way or the other to be useful. Also love the "factual" content ratings.

A reliable tool in my fact checking kit.

I've found it to be correct in almost all cases, the few that aren't are mostly new sites that haven't been evaluated, you also have to keep in mind there are those who will complain no matter what, so give it try and should you happen across something not quite correct inform them of it, instead of just whine and complain lord knows the world had enough whining etc these last 4 years

It's useful to have as you can tailor your news intake from the least biased sources.

Sometimes however the fact-check status of website seems a bit simplistic.

For instance Quilette, is flagged as misinformation based on some articles touting some more than controversial ideas, but they also have good ones. Whilst this website is however definetely right-wing biased.
