BBC Fact Check media bias rating is Center.

The BBC fact check section, called Reality Check, has a Center bias rating, according to a July 2021 Small Group Editorial Review by AllSides editors on the left, center, and right.

Reality Check posted fact-checks for a wide range of topics and countries. We found it to have a Center bias because of a lack of partisan language and transparent use of sources.

Our team is U.S.-based and, therefore, not fully confident in declaring the bias of articles with an international focus.
