I read every comment. As I'm a mod here, I will only be civil, so I am keeping all my thoughts to myself. Have a good day.

They said they would when they get to a computer.

the admin who manages the bot hasn't had a chance to disable it for our community yet.

166 upvotes, 27 down. Same thread.

Sorry for any confusion. We're moving away from bias - that's the goal, at least.

News source being "shit" examples:

• A Voice for Men
• The Activist Mommy
• Adams County Times
• Akron Reporter
• Albany Standard
• American College of Pediatricians
• Ames Today
• Antelope Valley Today
• Baltimore City Wire
• Benton Times
• Bloomington Leader

I could go on, but I'm at work right now.

I didn't make the bot. I'm working on the aggregate tool, which isn't developed yet.

The votes were overwhelmingly more positive than negative about it. We had the vocal minority against it, but the ones who wanted it let it be known.

My goal with the composite score is to grade based on how factual they are, not political leaning.

Ok. Think your response through.

That means all news outlets are biased as well. This is why we want something that gives a composite score. If all sources say "this news outlet is shit", maybe we take it with a grain of salt, or maybe we black list it. At a minimum, it helps mods and readers get a context of the content.

Can you give me an example? I may be able to code it

Go home, dude. You're drunk. Oh. That's me.

Re: your edit.

Fatally shot literally means "shot dead", but with a bigger word.

Your wording actually gives less info.

Duplicate, but good conversation going on here. Leaving up

You didn't sound outraged.

I'm guessing projecting.

In before someone reports this - the person DID kill themselves, therefore this comment isn't advocating self-harm, so much as "I wish the harm had ONLY been to themselves"

Yeah, the article is fairly threadbare. You bring up some good questions, too.

I didn't say it was.

They don't sell it, to my knowledge. That serial killer in CA was found because they submitted it the same way you or I would, and waited for the company to return familial matches.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said on social media that his office's sexual assault kit initiative funded forensic genetic genealogy testing that "narrowed the list of suspects."

so..

Did you eve read the article?

You unable to see the word "shoot" in the title? I doubt it was a blow dart...erm.. oh wait. That's a gun too!

I don't think it was a crossbow, or long bow, or a water...damn it. Keep coming back to "gun".

If you can't discern that it's a gun from the title, there's not much to do.
