    The bias rating is from Media Bias Fact Check. And yeah once you actually start digging in it just gets worse.

      The bias rating is, yes. But look again and you’ll see the bot also has an advertisement for Ground News, a paywalled news source.

        I haven’t actually clicked that, the ads annoyed me to no end. Being paywalled is just the cherry on the top. Having multiple sources is supposed to keep the system honest. Unless of course one of the choices is inaccessible to most people for some reason.

        This bot is scammy as hell.
