I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource.

It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion – let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure.

But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it’s the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways…so really no difference).

What’s the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there’s people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don’t see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck…

    This is what i see on connect. Maybe its the app, but I’m sure its there’s more people who see this and think its an eyesore.

    Edit: yes each article is only 4 lines, but theres 3 entries.

      I’d take this feedback to your app dev. Here’s Voyager and Tesseract.

      That’s the app you use failing at displaying text, on a website that is mostly text.

      You should submit a ticket to the dev, or use an app that’s out of beta.
