    Just because an opinion piece doesn’t fail a fact-check doesn’t mean it’s not an opinion piece, and it should be labeled as such

      So factor that into the bias rating, not the factuality rating, because that is about bias and not whether or not they have published things that are untrue.

        Presenting an opinion as fact (such as not labeling opinion pieces) would be a factuality issue no?

            So you’re saying I’m right because an opinion is an opinion and not true or untrue. Presenting an opinion as either is a factuality issue.

              So you’re saying I’m right because an opinion is an opinion and not true or untrue.

              If it’s not untrue then it shouldn’t affect the factuality rating, not sure why this is hard to get.

              Incidentally as another user pointed out in this thread, LGBTQ Nation does label their opinion pieces as such. Until MBFC presents evidence otherwise, I’m going to conclude that what they have deemed “undisclosed opinions” are things like “trans kids exist and deserve protection”.
