FoxNews.com, the credibility rating company explained, \u201cfails to adhere to several basic journalistic standards\u201d and \u201cpublished numerous false and misleading claims, including about politics and COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The popular pro-censorship browser extension also axed the network\u2019s score with claims that Fox News handles the difference between news and opinion irresponsibly and fails to regularly correct errors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNewsGuard is a for-profit organization operating under the guise of an objective public service,\u201d Fox News Media said in a statement. \u201cTheir management and editorial teams rely heavily on left-leaning sourcing to attempt to silence diversity of thought in media. FOX News is proud of the coverage we provide our dedicated viewers, which is why we attract the most politically diverse audience in cable news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corporate giants that openly disregarded journalistic standards to cover for President Joe Biden two years ago, however, remain listed by the news rating group as unquestionably reliable. In the weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a series of emails from an abandoned Delaware laptop that had reportedly belonged to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden\u2019s son. Documents revealed the Democrat presidential candidate was lying when he repeatedly denied discussing business with his son, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2019\/08\/28\/biden-brother-business-2020-1476815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">or with anyone else<\/a>.\u201d Another\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/15\/emails-reveal-how-hunter-biden-tried-to-cash-in-big-with-chinese-firm\/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">story<\/a>\u00a0revealed then-candidate Biden stood to personally profit from his son\u2019s overseas business ventures with foreign adversaries. <\/p>\n<p>The taxpayer-funded editors at National Public Radio declared coverage of the laptop a waste of time. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories,\u201d the editors wrote. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>NPR maintains a 100 percent credibility score with NewsGuard despite its failure to properly cover the Hunter Biden saga, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/?s=NPR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no isolated incident<\/a> of journalistic malpractice. <\/p>\n<p>The New York Times and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/25\/politico-scoop-on-biden-laptop-proves-the-dangers-of-disinformation-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Politico<\/a>, which each <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/30\/washington-post-new-york-times-deserve-no-credit-for-grudgingly-admitting-what-we-all-knew-about-hunter-biden-in-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">took months<\/a> to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop, also have perfect credibility scores. Meanwhile, the New York Post, which broke the major story leading up to the 2020 election, is listed with a score of 69.5 out of 100. The Federalist has a score of 12.5.<\/p>\n<p>In May, a team of researchers at New York University (NYU) studied the browser extension\u2019s effectiveness at redirecting users to websites deemed credible by the company\u2019s censors and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/10\/even-nyu-study-on-left-wing-misinformation-group-finds-news-rating-agency-useless\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">found<\/a> no benefits to individuals\u2019 ability to identify misinformation.
