That makes sense, I just hadn't seen a single post. In a comment above it was stated that posts criticizing the bot are removed, which is possibly why I haven't seen any.

That's really sketchy. Thanks for sharing.

My problem with the downvotes and the criticisms is that they don't provide any proof or comparison, they simply say that it's biased and wrong.

At the very least you should be linking examples and comparing against other bias checking sites.

For instance, I immediately disliked biasly.com because the rating system is -100 (Liberal) to 100 (Conservative). I've only compared a single site so far but the rating system alone makes me inclined to believe that the site is biased towards conservative views.

Thank you for actually providing an example. I've asked and I've seen others ask but no one ever actually provides evidence to back their claim, they just downvote or say "bot bad".

Do you have any examples? I'm not arguing against your statements. I had found services like this to be helpful for US news. I'm interested to see how this falls short and use that information to investigate better alternatives.

"Campbell had a choice between hanging and lethal injection, but he refused to make a choice, so under state law, hanging is used."

So likely an outdated law that had no actual impact because everyone would simply choose lethal injection.

Technically, yes.

Both. The only vegetable I dislike more than pickles is celery.

Pretty sure this is a Midwest (US) thing. I remember this from my youth but hate pickles so I've never had it. If you search for pickles and cream cheese you'll get results.

Isn't that cream cheese?
