> Have you made any attempt at quantifying its biases? Both whether it considers left- or right-leaning articles
FWIW, when I read news I often cross check on different outlets to get a sense of the span, range and sometimes media blackouts, including the ones with extreme bias (like RT reporting on Ukraine). This can give a good reading of the meta-temperature of a developing or controversial situation with a lot of propaganda and bias. In some cases, less trustworthy outlets will cover stories that aren’t narrative-friendly to more reputable publications, and sometimes, those can be really important.
For a service like this, I’d much prefer something analogous to “here’s what different outlets are saying”, rather than trying to make its own judgment about bias.
Great idea, the “here’s what different outlets are saying” feature.
Stories that aren’t narrative-friendly to main stream media.
Media blackouts to highlight propaganda and bias.
Make it easy for reader to see the "manufactured consent"!
