Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If it's made to be helpful, but literally no one wants it, is it still considered to be helpful?
Id be cool with the bot if it was accurate, but I've seen several sources where it's just plain wrong. Calling CNN a center left outlet is fucking nuts. Id rather have nothing than give people bad info.
I thought it judges them based on US political spectrum, so if CNN is not on the center-left, where would it be?
Well the issue many people have is that the spectrum is drawn so that center is non existent, and everything left of it supports government owned means of production in some way, and to the right is private owned means of production.
To say anything is left of center, and also pro private company ownership of the means of production is just incorrect/ couldn't exist.
So those people probably believe it you replaced the terms left/right with other terms, like leans blue or leans red, it would be more accurate. As blue in the U.S. is right of center. (Imagine CNN being against privately owned companies, we've never seen it)
It's maybe center-left according to the spectrum determined by the American MNCs that constitute the corporate media here, but that's like letting Big Ag determine what is and what is not a normal diet.
