It pops up all the time, it's a waste of time and I'm sure it has been used countless of times to discard some piece of information. It doesn't add up anything productive to the comments, people who comment don't even say anything they actually think they just "did you know that MBFC says this so it has to be truth?" I could go on but I think you get the idea.

No one really has the time to fact check every article or explore every institution.

Way to admit that you let yourself to be propagandized. You should always read news critically. It's easier to assume that everything is trying to push something, than to rely on a fancy graph some random dipshit on the internet created and then read it uncritically

What a way to admit you're not realistic about the amount of time you have and how long things take

I never said I didn't read things critically. That not fact checking which takes time beyond noticing bias and logical issues

The contradiction is so glaring that I'm not sure if you read what you write as you heavily imply it
