Philippines says two coast guard vessels damaged by China’s ‘unlawful manoeuvres’, while Beijing says it took ‘control measures’ after vessels illegally entered waters around shoal
Chinese and Philippine vessels collided on Monday during a confrontation near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, the two countries said.
Both countries blamed each other for the incident near the Sabina Shoal.
China and the Philippines have had repeated confrontations in the vital waterway in recent months, including around a warship grounded years ago by Manila on the contested Second Thomas Shoal that hosts a garrison. Beijing has continued to press its claims to almost the entire South China Sea despite an international tribunal ruling that its assertion has no legal basis.
BBC is rated pretty high, as i recall.
Yea, BBC is rated high center-left:

Breitbart is rated Mixed far-right, two rankings lower as a “questionable source”
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/breitbart
again, these are simple assumptions you’re making that you could have checked before making such a stand.
everything you said is wrong because you couldn’t be bothered to check the facts.
I feel like a total idiot now, some time between reading the original comment and my reply my brain substituted BBC for The Guardian, sorry for wasting both our times on that :'D
My criticism still stands, because it does rate The Guardian as mixed as well.
no sweat. The mbfc meter is more nuanced than it appears.
“mixed” is one metric.
As for news credibility based on bias, spin and fact-checking,
Breitbart has “Low Credibility”
and
The Guardian has “Medium Credibility”
