The problem is many people aren’t tuned into political ideology. The second they see left or right they sort it by their internal bias. So it’s whitewashing a lot of conservative European sources. It’s also rating American far right positions as center right, so absolutely whitewashing them, even for someone who understands MBFC is an American site with American prejudices.

Honestly I’m surprised they’ve lasted 8 years without this getting called out, it fairly should fairly well jump out at anyone who has studied politics.
