Though the Uncommitted movement is lobbying to get a Palestinian American on the main stage, the Harris campaign has not yet approved one. Will there be a change before Thursday—and does the Democratic Party want that?
Can you show me an example of them getting a site’s bias wrong? I’ve had misgivings about that site from the moment I discovered it, but I’ve yet to see any evidence of them being categorically wrong.

I think it’s more a matter of MediaBiasFactCheck having an implicit bias of its own - a tendency to center its political compass on the United States and a tendency to weigh editorial on the US heavy compared to international editorials. A perfect example is this: The Epoch Times is notoriously inaccurate with regard to reportage related to China. It’s also pretty virulently right-wing. However, it’s not run by actual fascists, which by US standards probably makes its bias right-center rather than extreme. Its’ anti-China bias isn’t that much more galling than that of Foreign Policy - which the website erroneously calls a least-biased source. As somebody who used to hate-read FP mainly to find out what American imperial actions to get angry about in any given month, until their pro-American bias became too sickening to handle, I find that a little bit questionable to say the least. But I have to measure everything through the terrifying funhouse mirror that is the American Overton Window.
