I love that bot because I can disagree with their assessment easily in a comment to it. The NYT is medium to low and they list it as high, not sure how that came up with high for them.
From my look at media publications:
🔺💲 New York Times
◾ Owned by The New York Times Company
It's a publicly traded company with most of it being privately held, that owns a multitude of media types:
◾ CEO and publisher is A.G. Slzberger
A.G. Slzberger
◾ Board of directors
As of February 2024:

This is their official page for the board of directors: https://www.nytco.com/board-of-directors/
World admins rolling out a mbfc not for news and politics comms. They ask for feedback then get angry at the comments about how bad it looks and people again raising points for why mbfc sucks
That was sadly the point why we didnt recognized that as feedback, rather as just being childish because some site said some bad things about their favorite news page.
At least we got some real feedback that were constructive. We will implement those and deploy it.
Ignoring the vaild criticisms of mbfc also isn't a good look.
"MBFC BAD DESTROY IT" isnt valid. Its just personal opinion. We responded to the real feedback accordingly and will implement them soon.
Ah yes, I'm sure that was exactly how every piece of feedback against mbfc was.
No of course not, some were constructive and gave an alternative site or adjusted format how they expect it to look.
Yes. Yes. I'm being facetious but... Like only accepting nice things that maybe fix appearance as feedback? Pshh.
Please be honest with yourself. Feedback that isn’t complimentary of your closed-source bot has consistently been disregarded, even when it was constructive
No, there was some good. Feedback, those "I HATE MBFC DESTROY IT" Feedback was not constructive.
Your definition of feedback, as stated in one of your latest posts —“No improvement idea? No… that's NOT feedback, that's just crying around”(https://lemmy.ca/post/25936280/10720168)— is clearly out of touch with reality and reflects a biased and distorted view. Feedback includes all types of input, not just suggestions for improvement.
I just reflect how it feels to get such bad feedback without any real feedback in it.
Feedback includes many types of input but not: Disliking it because of personal opinion, because service x rated your favorite news page badly.
My feedback to that emotional feedback was just my emotion back to it.
If we wanted everyones opinion on MBFC yes then we would loved this response from you. But feedback is not just MBFC BAD!!!!!!!!
What if theoretically give you feedback on your math test: "0 Points Because ITS BAD!!!!!" Then you would think why was it bad? The formula ? The results? The readability? Or were my books that i read bad?
Normally when faced with simply "its bad!!!" You reflect. If i got a 0 on my math score with no explanation id imagine I did so insanely bad, that I need to rethink how I did it entirely.
Maybe stop removing comments and see about finding better sources, that also happen to reflect what your users want.
I did not remova any comments? Those removed comments are renoved by mods of the community.
But the issue is there is no other alternative that has an ordered and automatable access.
Then the other option was to have a community made "source" but that brings up the issue with "User x is not fit to contribute", "Remove the bad rating on site xyz.com" etc. tadah back to the start with the "crying" ablut topic x.
We are still working on such an system as this could at least reduce the shitstorm about having no option to alter the rating. But its not final that decision.
What was the issue with the previous system, or rather, lack thereof?
Notice how it's people in the comments that seem to take issue with this? Like the ones actually where it is?
Your insisting it's needed from a silent vote with no voice?
Maybe just fricking hold a poll?
Pawn Stars is a show where people pawn stuff to a bald guy.
The LW mods are relying on a website to verify news, but it barely works outside of U.S. coverage, making it useless for global news (it’s like they think the U.S. is the whole world). They ask for feedback, but let’s be real—they’re too stubborn to accept any criticism
