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 add 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!

You are demanding people use a block button for something that has discourse about implementing at all.
Are you being paid by them to add it? Seriously? I get that you are pissed at you are the moderator. You signed up for this job and that means being in a position that requires talking to and listening and leading the community.
This is just immature and incredibly unnecessary. It’s not a propaganda blocking tool you implemented but a bot that links to a website that lets people make immediate bias judgements before they even interact with other people.
Do you see the trouble demanding this is what’s best is doing?
You’ve clearly chosen a side and demand that everyone bend to it. Lock the post and lock the sub. You clearly don’t want to be here.
We added the possibility for users to use the newly added context how they want it or not.
And you overexaggerated how much impact it really has on people. I have the feeling i am speaking with just some peoples alt here, just my suspicion.
Like said, if you dont like it block it. Like with everything else on the platform. Dont get you angry over a bot.
You put a whole screen immediate responding banner of a comment that states an unmediated declaration of trustworthiness of an entire publication attached to each new post linking an article. You have no idea the impact as much as I do or the people trying to alert you that it’s a bad idea.
And now you get to appease yourself and stroke your ego by arguing that the people in here aren’t real because it’s just names on a screen with no real connection to them existing. Great.
Way to stand behind the community and it’s users. Really shows you give a shit. Can’t believe you are the arbiter of a news community.
Rooki, please consider listening to the community.
