Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?

So that bot claims fact already in it’s name. I learned to check facts myself. I will never trust automation to do that for me. Also Bias and fact are two things that don’t go well together. One is measurable the other not at all. And the downvote is for anything I want to see less of.

Hmm. I’m not sure if you understand what it is.
MediaBiasFactCheck is a website run by human beings who fact check and bias check various media sources. They assign separate ratings for each source’s bias and credibility.
The bot just checks the website and shares the results for the source of a given post.
I’m not defending it, just explaining what it is since your argument seems to be against something that it’s not.
