Media Bias Fact Check, truly the paragon of reliable news. It directly claims that bias and accuracy are strongly correlated (and thus that centrism is in fact the most accurate), which can't be true sheerly because US media as a whole is biased away from center by the political climate of the US.
Moreover, MBFC considers institutions like VOA and Center for Democracy and Technology to be "least biased" despite them being part of the US Agency for Global Media, which REQUIRES outlets to be consistent with the broad foreign policy objectives of the United States.
You're not evaluating media bias, you're evaluating media alignment with US policy.
