Hello World, As many of you have probably noticed, there is a growing problem on the internet when it comes to undisclosed bias in both amateur and professional reporting. While not every outlet can be like the C-SPAN, or Reuters, we also believe that it's impossible to remove the human element from the news, especially when it concerns, well, humans.

To this end, we've created a media bias bot, which we hope will keep everyone informed about WHO, not just the WHAT of posted articles. This bot uses Media Bias/Fact Check to add a simple reply to show bias. We feel this is especially important with the US Election coming up. The bot will also provide links to Ground.News, as well, which we feel is a great source to determine the WHOLE coverage of a given article and/or topic.

As always feedback is welcome, as this is a active project which we really hope will benefit the community.

Thanks!

A timely article about why this type of "rating" is a really bad idea:

The most chilling words today: I’m from NewsGuard and I am here to rate you by Jonathan Turley.

    The guy is a Trump / Musk supporter, he's half the problem as it is.

    While I have criticized Trump in the past, I have also objected to some of the efforts to impeach or convict him on dubious legal theories.

    Yeah, those 34 duuuuubious felony convictions!

    Turley has written a lot about the NY trial and his analysis looked ok to me. IANAL of course. But, those convictions didn't seem to change Trump's polling noticeably. We will see what happens with Harris.
