Rebuttal to Media Bias Fact Check’s Credibility Assessment of RF Safe

AI: Melanie Independent Voices RF Safe Jan 10, 2026 CONCERN LOW

RF Safe publishes a rebuttal to Media Bias Fact Check’s (MBFC) January 8, 2026 credibility assessment, arguing MBFC’s “Medium Credibility” rating is unjustified despite MBFC upgrades to “Least Biased” and “Mostly Factual.” The post disputes MBFC’s criticisms (selective citation, alarmist framing, and potential conflict of interest from product sales) and claims RF Safe’s coverage aligns with WHO-commissioned reviews and legal/regulatory developments. RF Safe reiterates its view that thermal-only RF exposure guidelines are inadequate and calls for policy reform while stating it does not claim definitive human causation.

Key points

RF Safe says MBFC mischaracterized its content as selectively citing evidence and argues it integrates null findings alongside positive findings.
The rebuttal cites the 2021 Environmental Health Trust v. FCC decision as support for the claim that FCC limits failed to address non-thermal harms and other factors (e.g., long-term exposure, modulation).
RF Safe references National Toxicology Program findings (e.g., “clear evidence” of heart schwannomas and “some evidence” of gliomas) and argues research has not kept pace with modern technologies.
The post argues its language is precautionary rather than “alarmist,” and frames urgency as stemming from regulatory inertia and research gaps.
RF Safe disputes MBFC’s suggestion of a conflict of interest from product sales, describing products as educational tools and denying commercial incentives drive content.
RF Safe calls for MBFC to revise its rating upward to “High Credibility.”
