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

    also, it’s been 9 days, not “a few weeks”-- although the past 9 days sure as hell feels like a few weeks…

      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

      I will do so shortly, but wanted to raise the issue before since it might be spreading missinformation.

      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.
