    Guess I’ll have to reconsider trusting mediabiasfactcheck. Going to carefully read their analysis and factcheck later on when I have time. That particular article doesn’t seem like misinfo to me. As I like to say, facts are facts, regardless of the source. If the article is citing sources and I can trace it back, then I will decide to trust the site.

    Sucks that it’s so much work to get reliable info these days

      Press TV is Iranian state media, I don’t think you should either implictly trust what they are reporting or implictly distrust what they are reporting, you have to look at what is being claimed in an article by article basis and decide whether what they are saying is well sourced and seems accurate. You shouldn’t just “trust the site” for any news source in general, that is the opposite of critical thinking.
