How about critiquing a few of the MBFC's assessments of your favorite 4 or 5 sources specifically addressing their "hard news" (not op/ed) pieces.
Perhaps start with the company that calls itself "Fair and Balanced." ;-) = Sano

Let's try a thought experiment...
Group A of experts produces a study stating we are facing an existential threat in fifty years if we don't achieve some carbon reduction goal.
Group B of experts produce a white paper expressing skepticism of some sort, doesn't matter what flavor.
Media M disproportionately covers Group A or other groups with thinking similar to Group A.
Media F disproportionately covers Group B or other groups with thinking similar to Group B.
Along comes MBFC and rates Media M more truthy than Media F.
No surprise there. Nifty.
But in reality the MFBC cert is subjective, not dispositive.
