There's already - https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news
It's shows left, center, and right bias of new articles.
Read the 'From the center' version of articles, and the bias and sensationalism has been removed - https://www.allsides.com/story/media-industry-cnn-staffers-c...
Isn’t coming to a news story from these specific political viewpoints already a whole lot of bias?
I don’t think we can boil down most things into three separate POV. Not everything needs to be looked at through a political party’s perspective
Came to say this. The point seems not to be give an "all sides showing" but specifically to remove language that's designed to trigger our subcortical response systems.
Is that even possible? Take the specific language apart the choice of which stories to report on is already/can be highly biased.
Not sure a sanitized Fox News or NYT is “bias free” and is probably more dangerous than approaching the original articles knowing what their bias is.
With that said the product being demo-ed here is about sensationalism not bias per se as in this discussion.
They actually use a 5-dimension political spectrum. Left-right is not specific to any political party, dates back 200+ years and is extensively used in academic and nonacademic literature.
What other system would you recommend for evaluating political bias in news?
> Left-right is not specific
You could have left it here.
Center bias is as much of a bias as any other.
