Sir Richard Moore and Bill Burns did not list examples but there has been a spate of mysterious sabotage and arson attacks on infrastructure in the UK, Germany and in the Baltics.

Russia is waging a "reckless campaign of sabotage" across Europe, the heads of MI6 and the CIA have warned in their first-ever joint remarks.

Sir Richard Moore and Bill Burns also said the UK and the US faced an "unprecedented array of threats", and said the entire world order was under the most serious strain since the Cold War.

In a newspaper article, the spymasters pointed to Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, while also describing China as "the principal intelligence and geopolitical challenge of the 21st century".

So sky news uk and sky news Australia are different. I wish news corp would disintegrate for my convenience.

Honestly, you shouldn't believe anything this bot says.

Apparently unless the bot is completely anti-Semitic and calls for the death of Israel, it's Israeli biased.

The 'methodology' for rating biases that it uses is little more than one person's opinion which means it is necessarily biased.

No it isn't. You just don't want 'unbiased' you want 'biased toward my personal tastes'

Yes it is. It's literally "pick a few numbers between 0 and 10 then take the average", mate. Can you really say it's a robust methodology? Hey, if unbiased was something on offer I'd gladly take it but it's simply not possible. MBFC does nothing but add another bias into the mix.

The bots job us to assert that only sources that follow approved narratives are reliable. It even insists that CIA propaganda network Radio Free Asia and its siblings are unbiased and trustworthy.

Rule 3: Sources that have (what it considers) a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
