It pops up all the time, it’s a waste of time and I’m sure it has been used countless of times to discard some piece of information. It doesn’t add up anything productive to the comments, people who comment don’t even say anything they actually think they just “did you know that MBFC says this so it has to be truth?” I could go on but I think you get the idea.

    Only mentioning it when an outlet has a history of publishing things that are factually incorrect

    Then comment saying that about said news outlet, no one is going to ban liberals because they’re saying RT is Russian propaganda or whatever, but relying on MBFC as some sort of paragon of truth is actually harmful.
