The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view.

It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won’t be a bot giving reviews of the source.

The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at.

The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn’t enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.

    The question is how much is it incorrect? Because the bot isn’t AI or anything. MBFC’s database is used in research and has been compared with other independent sources and deemed reputable enough.

          Your source:

          Domain ratings may not be as accurate as fact-checking individual pieces of content

          You know – like a stupid bot writing useless bullshit.

            but they offer a convenient tool for evaluating the efficacy of antimisinformation interventions

            Also my source. You know, when used like a person with more than two brain cells would. Instead of nit-picking at the bot, why don’t we look at the bigger picture for the value it provides?
