    That’s correct. It’s intended for a US audience.

    If it were based on the European Overton window and you were American then there’s a good chance you would complain about its centre being centre-left for you.

    It’s not wrong; you’re just not in the intended audience.

    It’s not really possible to give internationally correct ratings. What an American considers centre-left is different from what a Frenchman considers centre-left, which is different from what a Pole considers centre-left. You can only report one, and the other two will then complain about it being wrong from their perspective.

      It should then refrain from from posting on non US-media sources and/or stories and/or communities.

      Of course it won’t. It’s purpose is to promote it’s owners US-centric political window.

      It’s spamming political propaganda ,dressing it up as ‘facts’, and it’s getting it’s just deserts.

      There is no need for regional tone in a “fact checker” bot. Facts are not regional. There is need for political education in the united states so that right wing things are considered right wing things again and not center positions. Respectively, anything leftist isnt communism.

      Truthfully the bot gets voted down because it furthers a Zionist agenda, same as the lemmy world administration by pushing it, and many less biased instances and user groups take offense with that.

      This needs to die in a fire. It’s not the US Overton window. You can see that by far right sources listed as right center. Like the Ayn Rand Institute.

        Just in curiosity, what is an example of a centre-right (by American standards) source for you? I make no comment about the Ayn Rand Institute as I know nothing about it

          Sinclair and Fox News stations would be center right. Fox Opinion TV would be Right to Far right depending on the show and Ayn Rand is far right because it’s anarchy-capitalism.

          Center, or least biased are your fact based papers of record. BBC, NYT, WAPO, Baltimore Sun, LA Times, etc.

            I think you’re right in terms of the American spectrum. Do you have a link to the bot calling the Ayn Rand institute centre-right? I did some more digging into it.

            I will happily retract my comment if you can.
