Wow, I definitely didn't expect that "Factual Reporting" would be "Mixed", however going through the list, it shows several instances where they misunderstood either a scientific paper or misrepresented some fact.
That said, I had before in some cases seen articles about AI being either false, misunderstanding the facts, or just parroting some CEO. I attributed it to AI being something relatively "new" to mainstream media, but this is pretty much eye opening.
I like their "long read" articles though, but I guess it's time to find a new main everyday paper for me...
