> The problem I have with this kind of bias evaluation is fairly straightforward: what if a group of people aligned in a particular way engages in more "untrustworthy" speech than their counterparts?

The article takes this into account: "but a similar standard has not been applied to lower quality, left-leaning sources such as CounterPunch, AlterNet, and the Daily Kos."

That is fine, but I think it's still important to recognize this. In my initial reading, the numbers comparison stood out a lot more from the thread starter's comment than the rest for example, which is a problem if perpetuated without the rest. In a sense, mentioning the numbers in the way it was mentioned almost invites misinterpretation, I'd say.
