This is the first time I have seen the analysis pulled together in an article.

Well, actually it seems like the second source is even worse.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-economic-times/

Reasoning: Numerous Failed Fact Checks, Fake News

Even worst rating on factual reporting, and a RW rag to boot. Why source articles from RW 'news' sites?
