Why is the archive going political? I would hope they'd be a bit more unbiased than this.

- danso 10y agoI could do without the integrated fact-checking, but I don't see this as being necessarily partisan. Trump is the first modern president without a history of public service, i.e. Very few public records about him. Most of the documents generated about him are media appearances.
- yakult 10y agoWhen they launch something that overtly flaunts their political affiliation like this, my first thought is: what will they omit? Are we going to get 'curated' history now? Will everything they archive going forward come with a third-party annotation by a 'non partisan' fact checking group, or disappear into the ether? The latter option is far cheaper and less prong to scrutiny, after all. One primary use I have for IA is to look for things that have been censored off their original platforms. Will I only be able to find those that align with their views going forward?
- akerro 10y agoI wish Facebook, Google, Twitter, CCN, NYT, WP were less biased too! Oh, btw. they also archived Hillary emails https://archive.org/details/hillary-clinton-emails-august-31-release https://archive.org/details/hillary-clinton-emails-august-31...
