    If you don’t like it, feel free to block it

    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.”

      just block it and move on

        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.

          It lists ap news as left center, so clearly it’s accurate because reality has a liberal bias.
