MBFC’s Misrepresentation: Straight-Up Lying or Just Sloppy?
RF Safe criticizes Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) for labeling RF Safe as “pseudoscience” with “mixed factual reporting” and “low credibility,” arguing MBFC’s entry contains factual errors and misrepresentations. The post says RF Safe does not claim RF radiation definitively causes human disease, but instead presents precautionary interpretations of peer-reviewed studies and proposed non-thermal mechanisms. It also alleges MBFC made specific, checkable mistakes about study-linking practices and site ownership/funding, and failed to correct them after rebuttals.
Key points
- RF Safe argues MBFC’s credibility rating is based on inaccuracies and mischaracterizes RF Safe’s positions on RF/EMF health risks.
- The post claims RF Safe does not state that RF radiation is proven to cause specific human diseases, and frames its content as educational and precautionary rather than definitive causation claims.
- RF Safe cites examples it says MBFC misrepresented, including discussion of Interphone and the U.S. NTP animal findings, emphasizing it presents these as signals/associations rather than settled proof in humans.
- The article alleges MBFC falsely stated RF Safe provides no direct links to studies, asserting the site includes “View Study” links to primary sources.
- RF Safe disputes MBFC’s claims about ownership and funding, stating the site is operated by Quanta X Technology LLC and that John Coates is a founder/contributor without ownership or profit ties.
- The post frames MBFC’s lack of updates after RF Safe’s rebuttals as either negligence or deliberate misrepresentation, and calls this poor fact-checking.
