Ah, I see. For me, it's just as helpful to know whether [Media Source I Hate] supports or disputes a claim as it is whether [Trusted Media Source] supports or disputes a claim. I'm generally always curious about the spin, especially when I know it's not objective.
- codingdave 3y agoThe whole point of checking facts is that it is objective. How those facts are spun into a story is subjective, but if you are checking anything that does not have an objective true/false answer, then that is not a fact. So if you are just intending to report on different spins and leaving it to individual to choose which media to listen to... I'm honestly not seeing how that is any different than where we stand today.
