I noticed that backchannel.com redirects to https://www.wired.com/category/backchannel/

I'm not sure how many other sources are like this. Maybe it's useful to implement path based matching on domains with a fallback to the domain?

Also, I noticed cnn.com redirects to edition.cnn.com so there is no data. Maybe it makes sense to lookup the domain from most specific to least specific, e.g.
lookup(my.contrived.example.news.site.com)
=> lookup(contrived.example.news.site.com)
=> lookup(example.news.site.com)
=> lookup(news.site.com)
=> lookup(site.com)
=> MATCH(site.com)

Spun off from #7 (comment):

This type of thing is reproducible for me (in the UK) if, for example, I begin at https://edition.cnn.com/world then use the Edition menu to prefer U.S..

Thanks to SportsPickle. Implement better matching by URL rather than subdomain.

Whilst https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/childrens-health-defense/ warns of quackery and Conspiracy-Pseudoscience:

• the yellow CP icon is absent from pages such as https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/plague-of-corruption-book-the-talented-dr-judy-mikovits/

Hi

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/ recognises The Guardian.

The extension does not. Third screenshot below, https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/jul/26/rise-in-unconditional-offers-prompts-call-for-university-admissions-overhaul:

Reproducible at (UK) home page https://www.theguardian.com/uk.

I would love to use this extension in Safari.

Hi

Extension version 1.7.1 with home-built Waterfox Classic 2019.10 (20191103135811) on FreeBSD-CURRENT. (Historically: Waterfox 56.0 was based on Firefox 56.0.2, the final release before Firefox Quantum.)

With the extension disabled, it takes less than five seconds to append (restore) a session with 64 tabs across three windows.

With the extension enabled, it takes around forty-five seconds.

The difference in timing is as if browser.sessionstore.restore_tabs_lazily true loses its effectiveness, but technically I can't tell whether that's the issue.

Any ideas?

TIA

I'd love to recommend this extension to staff and students at work, but I hesitate before describing it as Official. https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/media-bias-fact-check-icon/ offers the contradiction:

… Not affiliated with MBFC …

Please, might you change the name?

From:

• Official Media Bias Fact Check Icon

to:

• Media Bias Fact Check icon

TIA

Note, this is not to doubt the goodness of the extension. Just attention to detail with naming (I should expect some academic colleagues to similarly question the 'official' wording).

After the last couple Firefox updates, I no longer see the media bias icon on any of the sites I'd seen it on before (e.g. CNN). If I expand the three dotted icon, I see the MBFC app icon, but not the site's rating.
