Good grief. Seems we're arguing over facts again. The site you metion: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/climate-change-dispatch

I appreciate that you will not like the site I've mentioned. The detailed report at this site, and its links, are more reliable than the "the take-down letter issued today to Mr. Van Zandt." It is good to see their response to Media Bias Fact Check, but as we've seen, the latter website has not removed the items that were part of the letter to Van Zandt. If Media Bias Fact Check were wrong, their report on climatechangedispatch.com would be removed or substantially updated, but this has not happened.

lol more reliable because you like it more. MBFC is a completely left wing liberal shill site. They do no real research for their arguments, and it basically one guys deciding what he likes and how he feels things are leaning. Also using MBFC to make your counter argument is pretty shite.

No, Nick - this is not about emotions, or what one likes. This is about what is reliable.

MBFC provides a detailed report. You and your sites respond with the equivalent of "your counter argument is pretty shite."

You can do better. It's not terribly important. My curiosity is to see if there is any middle or common ground. Seems there isn't. Not that there should be. But this is my main curiosity at Saidit.

no thats the issue, they dont provide any of that lol. The only middle ground is you like it, I dont. I dont believe it should be used in a debate at all. Its like bringing a huff post article into a non left wing convo and asking everyone to just accept it because you think its a legit source. you like them, fine, knock yourself out. Just no one is going to ever believe anything from places like there or politifact.
