FBI agents executed a search warrant late last week on Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles as the first-term Republican faces continuing scrutiny over fraudulent campaign financial reports that he filed
That’s enema coffee, they are related in that you need one to make the other but not the same thing. In future, philosophers may ask us “what came first, the enema or the coffee?”
I will do so shortly, but wanted to raise the issue before since it might be spreading missinformation.
also, it’s been 9 days, not “a few weeks”-- although the past 9 days sure as hell feels like a few weeks…
Fair point, I’ll assume you are the person running the bot, so you probably knows more about it than me. I am and was tired when I wrote that, and didn’t doublecheck.
I have raised the issue I wanted to, and I’ll block the bot in a few minutes, one word of advice would be to reword the comment to say something like “The current reputation of Generic_News seems to lean toward it being generic”, so the bot makes less absolute statements.
Anyway, I am off to bed to sleep and possibly dream about terminating speaker wires.
i don’t run the bot, nor do i have any connection to whomever does. i just don’t get this “i disagree, therefore i must be disinformation!” attitude, especially since i haven’t seen any compelling evidence to support such a claim, especially your specific accusation, “since it might be spreading missinformation.”
I never said that I disagreed with the bot, I said that it is pretending to be unbiased, which is impossible since a human created the list of definitions it uses.
That is fair, I guess I take issue with how the bot makes it sound as if it reporting the unbiased truth, it would be better if it said something like:
“Generic News is a digital newspaper reportibg on global events, it was founded in 2022 by Generic Trends, a marketing company. The stated goals of Generic News is to be unbiased and equal in their reporting, but the site has quickly gained a reputation of leaning toward libertarianism.”
I have seen this bot around few a few weeks, and while the theoretical concept is good, it can’t work in reality.
Someone has to define what bias a news source has, and they has their own biases, this bot will only serve to confuse and misslead uninformed users.
if you don’t like it, feel free to block it

The past 9 days have been the longest month of my past 5 millennia that I’ve always been alive till the end of existence
Fascinating. Assuming that you have in fact been alive for +5000 years, what’s your secret to longevity?
Coffee enemas
I must be doing it wrong. I can only see into the future after one of those.
Exactly. Brewing coffee from enema water

A bit o’ coffee enema coffee, if you will

just block it and move on
It lists ap news as left center, so clearly it’s accurate because reality has a liberal bias.
It works pretty good in reality though - their assessments are based on certain criteria and are generally fair.
“Everyone is biased so stop reporting on bias” seems to be one of those civil-society-corroding memes that have gone around recently.
