The other day it labelled the internet archive as biased towards centre-left. The internet archive - it's like saying a stack of blank printer paper is biased. Beyond useless.

    Totally agree.

    As a temporary measure, I have blocked that bot from my feed.

    Is that thing still around? I thought it had been removed based on the feedback

    Mods already said they won't remove it because they use it as a quick basis if articles get reported.

    Which is kinda dumb because you could automate that client side without a community wide bot.

    If they wanna have it, I'd rather have it link to a proper media aggregate site like ground news which combine both source reporting and published bias info from multiple sources:

    Hi,

    we have already a link to ground news, and we try to get api access to other aggregators, but all have reall high prices or just dont have the wanted data. ( We dont want to scrape it as it could get us in legal troubles )

    Thanks for your suggestion.
