How to Use MediaBiasFactCheck for Vetting Creators - Enterprise Team
Learn how to use MediaBiasFactCheck to verify prospective creators, assess their bias and credibility, and update your vetting sheet accordingly.
In this guide, we'll learn how to use MediaBiasFactCheck.com to verify if a prospective creator can move along in our process. We'll start by copying the website and searching for it on MediaBiasFactCheck.com. We'll assess the site's bias and credibility to determine if it meets Raptive's criteria. If the site is too biased or lacks credibility, we'll reject it and document our findings in our vetting sheet. This ensures transparency and consistency in our vetting process.
Let's get started
We'll start by viewing our vetting sheet and selecting a political/news website to review, copying the domain.


Now open a new tab and go to MediaBiasFactCheck.com.




At Raptive, we seek creators who fall between "Left-Center" and "Right-Center" in terms of "Bias". Anyone from "Left-Center" to "Extreme" or "Right-Center" to "Extreme" is automatically rejected. For example, Fox News leans heavily to "Extreme", so it would be rejected. Additionally, we assess their "Credibility".
At Raptive, we focus on creators with "High" or "Very High" levels of "Credibility". You can see that Fox News is "Mixed" in this regard, falling short of our standards. Therefore, in both "Bias" and "Credibility", they would be rejected. With this information, we'll update our vetting sheet and immediately reject this lead

It's very important to add our notes. This way, anyone who wants to know why we rejected it can easily see that it was due to extreme bias and a lack of credibility. The more notes, the better.

From there, you can continue with the rest of your vetting.
