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 check context comments and adds 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 love this, but I would like to state that Media Bias Fact Check seems to have a pro-Israel bias.

I feel like “blending of opinion with news” and “occasional reliance on poor sources” is all that really need be said.
Mondoweiss is literal propaganda tho
Read the lengthy discussion about them on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_427#What_is_the_reliability_of_Mondoweiss?
It’s about the bias rating. Using explicitly biased sources when rating a source makes for a bad rating.
On whose behalf? I’ve sensed bias from the brief glances I’ve given them, so I didn’t keep reading enough to actually analyze it.
We don’t allow Mondoweiss links either.
