The killing, which Iran and Hamas blamed on Israel and pledged to avenge, threatens to plunge the region further into chaos and raised fresh doubts about Gaza cease-fire talks.
I don’t understand why people seem to hate this bot. I’ve seen commenters saying MBFC itself is biased but without actually providing any sources which is sort of ironic, and one bright spark vowed to downvote it every time because “they’re begging for donations”
I’m not a fan of the format personally. It looks like crap on my client and takes up half the screen when the relevant information only really needs a line or two. I think the information is useful but I’m still on the fence about blocking it because it’s quite the eyesore.
There are people here with a wide range of opinions held very strongly. So of course the bot is going to be a blessing to some and nefarious and evil to others. Apparently like the leader of Hamas.

You can view the examples of bias in the stickied mega thread.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s because you haven’t tried to look.
It very clearly has a Zionist bend, and will actively downgrade the rating for news sources critical of Israel.

I mean how do you even source a claim like that? That said, MBFC messes up a lot. I mean how the hell is NYT left wing?

Which disagrees with objective reality.
I was giving an example.

Again, left-center is included under the general classification “left wing”, which NYT is absolutely not. Are you being willfully obtuse?

Even giving examples of this supposed bias would be better than essentially just going “they’re biased trust me bro”
