Isn’t coming to a news story from these specific political viewpoints already a whole lot of bias?
I don’t think we can boil down most things into three separate POV. Not everything needs to be looked at through a political party’s perspective
- vippy 3y agoCame to say this. The point seems not to be give an "all sides showing" but specifically to remove language that's designed to trigger our subcortical response systems.
- haldujai 3y agoIs that even possible? Take the specific language apart the choice of which stories to report on is already/can be highly biased. Not sure a sanitized Fox News or NYT is “bias free” and is probably more dangerous than approaching the original articles knowing what their bias is. With that said the product being demo-ed here is about sensationalism not bias per se as in this discussion.
- haldujai 3y agoThey actually use a 5-dimension political spectrum. Left-right is not specific to any political party, dates back 200+ years and is extensively used in academic and nonacademic literature. What other system would you recommend for evaluating political bias in news?
- pessimizer 3y ago> Left-right is not specific You could have left it here.
