FFRF least biased

Fascinating. A group like the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a bunch of atheists and agnostics, turns out to be one of the least-biased and well-sourced information outlets out there. No way you could say the same for the religious-based information sources. They have a real axe to grind.

I am proud to be a Life Member of FFRF.

FFRF rated ‘least biased’

FFRF news and reports, including Freethought Today, have been rated as “least biased” by the Media Bias / Fact Check website.

According to the site, which rates hundreds of media outlets on a sliding scale from “extreme left” to “extreme right,” FFRF was right in the middle under “least biased.” The site says that that rating means “these sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources.”

Under “factual reporting,” FFRF was given the rating of “high.”

The Media Bias site also wrote in its “Notes” section about FFRF: “In review, their news reporting uses minimal loaded words and typically links to low-biased sources. From a political perspective, the mission is to simply keep church and state separate. Overall, we rate the Freedom From Religion Foundation as least biased and high for factual reporting.”
