Ad Fontes Media
- ...
that according to the Media Bias Chart, news sources on one political extreme or another are much more likely to contain factually incorrect information than ones in the middle?- ALT1:...
that Vanessa Otero, creator of the Media Bias Chart, believes "extreme sources play on people’s worst instincts, like fear and tribalism, and take advantage of people’s confirmation biases"?
- ALT1:...
- Comment: I (Nablais) created the article and Newslinger helped expand it. This is my first submission to DYK.

- Thanks for submitting this, Template:U. I'm not sure about the main hook, since it appears to be based on an original reading of the chart itself. Ideally, hooks should be based on content in the article that is supported by a reliable secondary source. ALT1 is fine on reliability grounds, but I wonder if there is a way to paraphrase Otero's words. — Newslinger talk 08:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:23, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
The proposed hooks are both about a product, and offer no insight at all about the company which is the subject of the article in question. New hooks are needed here that focus on Ad Fontes Media. Flibirigit (talk) 07:01, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- How about:
- ALT2:... that Ad Fontes Media is the company behind the viral Media Bias Chart?
- Comment: Not sure if you want "Media Bias Chart" to be bolded too if you want to focus on the company, but I could see either way considering they end up linking to the same place via redirect. Nablais (talk) 02:25, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- "Media Bias Chart" should not be bolded as Ad Fontes Media is the subject of the hook and the MBC link is just a redirect. In a hook there shouldn't be more than one link to the same article. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, changed. Nablais (talk) 02:44, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- In any case I don't think ALT2 is suitable either as it sounds promotional (with words such as "company behind" and "viral", which you can frequently find in advertisements). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, how about something like:
- ALT3:... that Vanessa Otero founded Ad Fontes Media after her Media Bias Chart became popular on Imgur?
