You really don't think it's at all useful to see at a glance whether something's , , or ? I kinda just like the convenience, I've already encountered all of these problems. That's why I don't follow MBFC blindly.
Well, I don't think it's even all that great for that because it has a weird affect of anti-Ukraine being "right bias", left-of-Bibi-Zionism being "left bias," and so on. If it actually just said "how much of a Marxist [derogatory] is this source?" then it might be more useful, but going to MBFC piecing through why it rates something the way it does is genuinely more effort than just looking at the article and making a determination from that.
You know, the more you say the more I'm starting to feel like MBFC is just some baggage I've been carrying with me since my liberal-brainwormed late-teens, that I've kept justifying to myself despite its lack of any actual use... I mean, I haven't even used it for two months since my laptop doesn't work, and half of the news sources I look at are unrated anyways.
For what it's worth, I'm not trying to attack you for using it or anything, I'm just taking the question "Is MBFC useful to a communist?" at face value and trying to answer it. Maybe you have fluency with it (my condolences) that makes the relation of effort I mentioned before not hold. I get a little focused on conversation topics like that sometimes . . .

I mean, I do kinda feel fluent with it, yeah.
