That's not what your link says, it says mixed, and if you want to talk about bias, why didn't you also do the same check for all the other sources? Example: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-post/ Much worse and the factual score is lower.
The link I provided says the Hindustan Times has low credibility and their factual reporting is mixed. The post has medium credibility and mixed factual reporting.
To be perfectly honest, I didn't check the others because they were all from more mainstream sources. Especially with breaking news, like this story was yesterday, we should all be giving unfamiliar sources extra scrutiny.
If it makes you feel better though I'll do the rest of them:
Yes but did you read them? The HT doesn't fare as bad as the others. Which leads me to believe you singled out the HT because of their brownness or perhaps non-Jeebusness.
"To be perfectly honest, I didn’t check the others because they were all from more mainstream sources. "
Which are all bullshit in many ways...
I singled them out because it was an obscure source and misinformation is rife on the Internet. If you believe I might be secretly a bigot, you are welcome to check my post history, but I promise you, I am not.
100% agree. Not a single source on that list, except maybe the bbc would I trust as a single source, and only then if it were about non-political international stories.
