https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ars-technica/ gives a factual reporting score and political bias estimation.

No way, MBFC utter garbage.

It is one random guys opinion and pushes pro-Zionist content. It’s extremely biased and unfairly rates sites all the time. To see it still pushed after the .world/c/world fiasco is disheartening.

Good recommendation. They have an API and plugins https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/appsextensions/

I was thinking of something that also alerts me to how many times the publication has been found to have published AI under the name of a human. But Media Bias Fact Check might actually cover that well enough. I'll install that extension now, thank you!
