It's not hard to discern bias within some article. Having more appropriate headlines is a good step, though.
But I think the bigger issue is more about the coverage of stories. Outlets are certainly going to cater their audience. Example: maybe from sources you see more stories on white-on-black shootings, and in another source you see more black-on-white shootings. So which one is more "newsworthy"? That's where a lot of bias comes into play.
> Step 1: For each category, we begin by scraping the latest headlines from publicly available news sites.
That said, I'd like to know the categories and what sites are scraped, because there may be bias in the selection of such.
