    “Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC News) adheres to the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles. The Poynter Institute developed these principles to promote excellence and standardization in Fact-Checking.”

    Seems like they are on board with those principals. Also, explain how it’s partisan please.

      Membership in the IFCN provides a method for member organizations to be held accountable to the IFCN code.
