It pops up all the time, it's a waste of time and I'm sure it has been used countless of times to discard some piece of information. It doesn't add up anything productive to the comments, people who comment don't even say anything they actually think they just "did you know that MBFC says this so it has to be truth?" I could go on but I think you get the idea.

The idea that something is not biased based on the fact that "it shouldn't be neither too lefty nor too righty" is absurd, it has a bias for "centrists" who believe they live on the fence but then you hear them speak they are rightists. I could go on, it's basically trash, low effort strawman to discredit possible factual information.
