About this extension

ABOUT
  • The project's source code can be found here, and you can also submit bugs: https://github.com/hirschan/news-credibility-score/tree/master
  • This extension uses factual rating classifications sourced from mediabiasfactcheck.com (MBFC). The dataset used in this project was last updated on 2025-12-02.
  • The data contains 9,934 news sources, of which 8,969 (excluding Media Bias/Fact Check itself) are currently active.
  • This web extension transforms MBFC’s publicly available rating categories into numeric scales for display purposes. All displayed scores are custom numeric interpretations derived from MBFC’s publicly available rating categories.

DISCLAIMER
  • This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC). MBFC retains full copyright over its ratings and classification data. This extension simply references MBFC’s publicly available information and presents it in a different, transformed format for educational and non-commercial use.
  • The ratings shown in this extension are not guarantees of accuracy, and I am not responsible for MBFC’s evaluations or conclusions. Users are strongly encouraged to perform their own fact-checking and consult multiple sources when evaluating news credibility.
