    If they omit information then you can fact check that. Automatically downgrading factuality because they’re not considered centrist by the website arbitrary definition that’s based on the USs skewed view of left and right isn’t objective in anyway.

      You’re wording it poorly. They downgrade factuality due to sounding left or right, not the absence of being centrist. Centrism is itself a bias which is why it is on a scale and not called neutral.

        Again left/right based on the website creators definition of those words which is going to be biased.
