Where these ratings come from. Country, credibility and lean are curated v1 mappings composited from public ratings (AllSides, Media Bias/Fact Check); outlets we haven't reviewed stay unrated. The profile text above is an AI-generated summary (gpt-5.4-nano) written under a strict no-guessing rule — facts the model isn't confident about are omitted rather than invented.
