This application said that the Daily Caller was mostly factual and did not have clickbait headlines. This is the site that just made news today because they are claiming that covid-19 is a weapon that was bioengineered. This is a well-known site for conspiracy theories and general misinformation. THe problem of identifying websites that are propogating disinformation is a difficult one that has not been solved. I sympathize with the authors of this site, but when it rates a site that is distributing information that is damaging to society, they need to stop and others need to be warned about them.

This is a long overdue innovation. There are lots of other data (and nonsense) streams that should be filtered by similar means.

I value something which rates a site based on clarity of where it is getting its information. This means that the sites which are relying on opinion but not labeling it as opinion or unknown sources which might be opinion instead of truth get ratings less than those which reveal where or from whom the information is coming. I don't have to wonder whether the information I read is a rumor generated to slander the truth. I value truth not a point of view...or if it is a point of view, I prefer that it is labeled as such. This does that. Opinions are not bad but they need to be recognized as opinion not as truth.

NewsGuard is an absolutely essential service, given the proliferation of internet-based news sources -- many lacking any journalistic standards -- particularly at a time when so many local and regional newspapers -- where journalistic standards did apply -- are failing or disappearing. NewsGuard does an excellent job of calling balls and strikes regardless of where a publication or news source is on the political spectrum.

I'm very happy with the extension. Its integration into Google Search results and and Twitter links saves me time.

This is great resource! No one wants to believe their news sites might be biased, so expect some bad reviews, but I highly recommend this for classroom and at home use--especially for those of us who teach or have teenagers. They need resources like this more than anyone else.

The initiative is very valuable. Still WIP and room for improvement but it's in the right direction!

Using Twitter or Facebook without this extension is impossible for me now. NewsGuard is amazing. The 1-star reviews here are from propaganda and misinformation websites who are upset that they are getting called. Ignore them. If you want to know what sources you can trust, use this plugin.

I appreciate the ratings that NewsGuard does. I understand what has a liberal bias, a conservative bias and is just plain BS propaganda.
