You can't trust Business Insider.
Multiple sites show it left leaning in bias, but mostly factual/reliable at 82%, with only a small amount of falsities.

Axel Springer bought it, which is basically the German equivalent of Rupert Murdoch.
Business Insider... left leaning? That's silly.
Why?
P.S. Nice picture. I'm looking to play that game soon after having so much fun with Policenauts.
Thanks! I enjoyed Snatcher even more than Policenauts, so you're in for a treat. The quality of voice work they did back then is amazing, especially since most games didn't have voice acting at all.
I’ll bite. Why?
Axel Springer.
Yep. Do not trust a word that unethical shit house puts out. Be it Bild, Welt, Business Insider, what have you. Once Axel Springer is involved, expect lots and lots of lies, "not quite but almost" lies and lies out of spite or self interest."
Politico too.
One guess as to why they don't trust it

That only confirmed that it's fine to read. It doesn't overtly move the Overton window.
Nothing to do with bias. It’s a shitrag outlet. Most of their articles are stolen, or they just report on what other outlets are reporting - there’s hardly any original work and the clickbait is cheap shit .
Mostly factual, center left. Which part is the reason why we shouldn't be reading their news?
Guessing the people who don't like it are those who don't like the left or facts.
Gee I wonder who those could be
Who bias fact checks the bias fact checker?
Because he said so. /s
