Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?

For one, it bases it’s bias assessments on American politics. The UK is less right-wing than the US but when this bot comes along it calls a source which we might call centrist, “left”.
In a way, it’s like an attempt to shift the overton window for other countries closer to the US, and that’s not a good thing.
Of course, don’t expect this to be addressed by @Rooki@lemmy.world.

It’s not the bot that makes the judgement

No it’s the person who owns the source.
A pro-Israel American iirc.

Any comment where they stated so? Seems wild based on the current context
