FWIW I don't think the point is to compare reputable v non-reputable -- after all, perception is truth in politics. I think the goal of the tool is to highlight the perceptions but not to sort through the realities. There are great tools that do that (i.e.: Snopes/Politifact) but people 'in a camp' aren't generally interested in a truth that doesn't fulfill their prophecy.
- anticlickwise 9y agoYou nailed it. I dont agree with most of the stuff on the conservative side but I think it is a bad idea to shut ourselves off and not listen to ANYTHING they say. This site simply shows you what the other side is listening to and hopefully it will soften everyone's views in the long run.
- mch82 9y agoIs the goal of softening everyone's views something you plan to keep working on? If so, are you discussing it anywhere?
- anticlickwise 9y agoNot really discussing it. I just got fed up yesterday and I made this in a few hours out of disgust. The idea was born out of softening my own views I guess
- otp124 9y agoIf you want to soften everyone's views (and for this to be mainstream), then choose a different domain name. It can't be stated on radio or television in the US, for better or worse.
