Who would do such a thing? And why? The poor little fella is just doing it’s job…
I rarely see it, but MBFC is an atrocious website that defines bias by distance from the center. It’s just nonsense.
I do. I don’t need a bot telling me what to think.
I downvote it to lower it in the comment rankings. Acknowledging that it is imperfect, I still like it because it gives a clue as to whether I should verify the article elsewhere. It’s not there to be the final arbiter on what truth is and I think any mod that treats it as such is woefully mistaken.
some folks don’t like it and for some reason don’t just block it.
In addition to the explanations already posited, I’d also think there most likely are some people who want to lie, argue disingenuously, and a fact-checker tends to get in the way of their rhetoric.
Can you give an example of someone who ever posted something disingenuous that MediaBiasFactCheck got in the way of?
No I cannot give you an example. I was postulating that it could be a demographic that hates the bot. I don’t think an example cited is necessary to consider this a possible contributor. Relax.
This comment has big “Haitians are eating cats” energy.
I don’t have any proof, but just think about it, man!
