What direction was the skew?
- spooneybarger 2y agoThere's a couple "left leaning" media sources in the boost list and 3 "right leaning" in the lower list. There's none going to the other way for sources and their generally acknowledged "lean". I interpret that as a skew.
- RajT88 2y agoSkew in the user base at least
- leereeves 2y agoThat's natural. Kagi users are mostly techies and techies skew left.

- rsynnott 2y agoI mean the other way to look at it is that there are two quality newspapers plus the BBC in the boost list, and a notoriously dodgy tabloid, a TV news site, and whatever the hell Breitbart is (I must say, I hadn’t realised it was still a thing) in the lower list. You’re not really comparing like for like.
- crooked-v 2y agofoxnews.com is near the top of the block list. Of course, Fox News has made the legal argument that people shouldn't believe what they say (https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-...), so it's not surprising that people paying for a service to look for actual information would block them.
