In my view it’s a good example of why the manual labeling is flawed as CNN regularly criticizes progressives and airs republican views that TYT then responds to and criticizes CNN for.
To categorize them both as “Partisan Left Focused on politics and exclusively critical of Republicans” is a stark example of why manual labeling of these channels, especially by the two authors and some unnamed person the authors trusted (pg. 4), cannot be unbiased and a survey methodology or topic model would produce more persuasive results.
- ravenstine 7y agoIsn't that kind of like saying InfoWars isn't a conspiracy/entertainment website because it regularly posts about actual news?

Maybe the lines are now blurred, but it would be interesting to see the amount of bias in the traditional daily News segments. Obviously the commentary segments are much more biased.
