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!

FHF / LemmyWorld Admin team 💖

    We are giving you feedback because of this line

    As always feedback is welcome, as this is a active project which we really hope will benefit the community.

    This response is not the kind to be expected from an administrator that respects their community. Even if you disagree with it, the community is seeing you act incredibly defensively and emotionally to reasonable criticism and feedback, instead of taking an objective look at the situation.

        Maybe the feed back is we don’t want or need this bot?

        Like, your option is not between chopping off your left hand or your right and all the people screaming not to do it are just trying to get you to swap the axe to the other hand. Maybe they just think you should put it down and rethink why chopping off your hand is the only choice.

        You are stuck on a singular option of it must exist without reason for why other than because you kinda think it’s cool despite users telling you it’s not. To the point that you are going to punish people who don’t like it or report it.

        It’s childish. It really is.

        Look. The community dislikes your change. If you don’t have the ability to act in the interests of your community, then quite simply you are not a good moderator.

        I’m deleting my account. I refuse to be on an instance that it ran by immaturity.
