Hard to see how this apparent stereotyping (a) wouldn't apply to people working in nearly every industry and (b) is relevant to this tool.

  I guess it's relevant because the OP is saying that they wouldn't use it because they think that facts are irrelevant. Definitely, we'd have to look at the studies in this space, namely whether journalists cite their facts, or write their pieces using citable studies/facts, etc. So I also won't accept the OP's statement of it as fact. Though, in my, supposedly biased, opinion I'd say journalists are quite adept at twisting facts to suit their points, and also of omitting (i.e. cherry picking) facts that support their views/points.

    Of course. I just hope you recognize comments like these do precisely the thing they lament: make unsourced assertions designed to advance a point of view. "Journalism" is a broad tent. I suspect there's plenty of room for tools like this one.
