This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Hanna Kozlowska (4 April 2018). "Facebook has introduced another half-baked effort to fight fake news". Quartz. Archived from the original on 4 April 2018. Retrieved 4 April 2018. It's also unclear which outlets get the "i" icon, and which do not. For example, InfoWars, a media company that is a well-known purveyor of conspiracy theories, does not appear to have the icon on its posts. That means the user would have to leave Facebook to determine the source's trustworthiness, which defeats the purpose of the feature. Other right-wing conspiracy sites, like Gateway Pundit, also do not have an "i" icon. Both of these sites have Wikipedia pages.

The Gateway Pundit is not a "satirical ", nor a "conspiracy " site. The description given by the far-left editors at Wikipedia falsely state this to try and discredit a news site that links articles Wikipedia does not like. Please remove your personal and editorial bias. 2600:1004:B300:557:7CD3:1D28:C9C0:1A62 (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The article does not use the word "satirical" even once. What it does do, however, is describe the website as far-right (a statement backed by fifteen sources), a fake news website (a statement backed by ten sources), and being known for publishing conspiracy theories (again, backed by nine sources). These are far more than adequately sourced. I would additionally note that attempting to baselessly attack the same people you are trying to convince is not generally an effective way to make a request.

Calling out media bias

why is it Wikipedia can call Fox,Newsmax and others right to far right biased media, but wont call out CNN,MSNBC many others as being left to far left media when it is clear of the bias that they have. They try to hide behind the notion that its disinformation, but in reality they just only air news that they consider as being what they consider as fact or they don't report it at all. The main stream media has reported just as many false claims as any other but they dont admit to it . Russian collusion,Hunters laptop and several others come to mind.

the way MSM reported on Russia and the laptop has been misrepresented by sources like Gateway Pundit soibangla (talk) 17:38, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have watched a read a lot of Msnbc an other main stream media news ,they either don't say anything or they just state what the white house response is. Many of the host state their opinions that are very left biased. Tmlowe65 (talk) 15:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Our opinions don't matter. O3000, Ret. (talk) 15:12, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tell that to the news media. I just made a statement on what is or isn't stated in wikipedia. 47.4.72.120 (talk) 15:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where does Wikipedia call Fox right or far right? I can't find that. Also, Wikipedia does not call Newsmax right or right-wing. WP says it has been variously described as conservative, right-wing, and far-right with numerous citations. O3000, Ret. (talk) 17:49, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They use the term "conservative" for Fox and use term "described as ,right to far right" for Newsmax , but for CNN an MSNBC ,they just say " American news organization and political commentary...

if you scroll down in controversies on CNN they have been only accused of being left biased. Tmlowe65 (talk) 14:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We say what reliable sources say. We do not evaluate ourselves. And this has nothing to do with the subject of this article. O3000, Ret. (talk) 15:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
