  • MBFC calls both The Guardian and Breitbart “MIXED” in their factual accuracy. For Breitbart? It’s because they’re an alt-right disinformation factory which as a policy denies fundamental and provably true scientific facts like climate change, spreads baseless, trivially disproven conspiratorial nonsense, and intentionally misleads readers left and right. For The Guardian? Well they’ve failed five fact checks in the last five years, and these fact checks are as robust as, umm…

    “Private renting is making millions of people ill.”

    “Private renting is making millions of people ill, but maybe this happens with other housing situations too, we don’t know, so we rate this as false.”

    MBFC is a joke, and this bot is a pathetic sham.

  • The “good guy with a gun” trope in US gun control discourse is based strictly around a civilian who carries a firearm with them, not police or security whose job it is to carry a firearm and keep people safe. That’s 12/433 people, not 28%. 15/433 at most if you count the off-duty cops.

    When people talk about “good guys with guns” to stop mass shootings, it’s a bullshit way of deflecting from the actual problem, instead going in the opposite direction of the solution by saying even more civilians should be armed.
