BGR

As an academic-based healthcare professional, I made the mistake of trusting BGR.com on Apple News during the flurry of COVID-19 info. I was leery in the first few months, did not initially notice errors in reporting, and trusted when they repeatedly claimed that AccuMed KN95 masks were "NIOSH-approved" and "FDA-approved." It's NOT true. And that error is a potentially dangerous one. I made the mistake of spreading that info to large number of professional colleagues, in addition to making a large expensive purchase.

About two weeks ago, I again noticed false statements made on their site. Now, I try to avoid reading what they say in order to prevent confusion or believing false information. I have no idea how often this occurs, but more than once about an important subject is too many for a site whose title isn't obviously iffy... and translates to two stars.

I don't know whether it's more a matter of them having "rookie" reporters who don't verify their statements -- or whether they are just out to make money, even if info they provide is untrue.
