    Who. The fuck. Downvotes Bias-check Bot!? They literally just show an independent bias score of different news sources!!! If its comments are repetitive (that’s by design), and too annoying, just block them! But America is in an election season! I don’t think poor-quality news sources should be treated the same as literal propaganda or poor-quality sources…

      People who don’t want others to be made aware of possible bias or tendencies towards non-factual reporting in posted sources?

      I didn’t, but I do find it amusing the bias bot will rate itself as unbiased. It even did so in it’s introduction thread.

        Everyone has a bias. But if a person or project is truly committed to independent review, that’s about as good as we could ask for…

      Because it’s run by one guy in the US. He rates New York Times, an objectively conservative outlet, as center left. He has bias.
