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!

    I mean look at this dumpster fire of a comment section.... I don't think we as a community are really making a good case.

    Personally I think the bot is a bad idea because I always hated that kind of shit on Reddit. I'd rather have discussion with real people than just have a bot that always comments.

    But the people attacking MBFC are really coming out of left field in my view. If I was a mod, I don't know if I'd want to listen to feedback either.
