Hello World, As many of you have probably noticed, there is a growing problem on the internet when it comes to undisclosed bias in both amateur and professional reporting. While not every outlet can be like the C-SPAN, or Reuters, we also believe that it’s impossible to remove the human element from the news, especially when it concerns, well, humans.
To this end, we’ve created a media bias bot, which we hope will keep everyone informed about WHO, not just the WHAT of posted articles. This bot uses Media Bias/Fact Check to add a simple reply to show bias. We feel this is especially important with the US Election coming up. The bot will also provide links to Ground.News, as well, which we feel is a great source to determine the WHOLE coverage of a given article and/or topic.
As always feedback is welcome, as this is a active project which we really hope will benefit the community.
Thanks!

They failed an Al Jazeera fact check because they published an article using data from the South African government that was later updated long after the article.
So yeah, it qualifies to this trash tier site.
The only fact check failure I can see with that SA article seems to be them citing their source as a UN report, when no UN source ever made any such report.

Otherwise you are right, and this would not qualify. You cannot cite the UN when the UN is not where you are getting your data though, that is blatant misrepresentation.
