The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view.

It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won’t be a bot giving reviews of the source.

The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at.

The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn’t enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.

    What I’m making isn’t a bot, but an API, but everybody got pissed I wanted ANYTHING that would help detect false news.

    That’s not really clear from your opening post. I don’t mean that to be critical, just saying the opening post sounded very much like the pending release of bot v2.
