    I see we are still downvoting a bot meant to combat media bias. I will never understand that.

      Someone programmed that bot, and has their own biases.

      Plus it’s annoying.

        No, the bot is simply querying a website/api that has a transparent process for how they determine the things they do. I’ve seen links posted to back that up several times, but those who hate the bot never seem to care about the links. If you want to look into MBFC’s process, it should be easy to google.

        I don’t see what’s annoying about it, but can’t you just block or mute that bot if it annoys you so much?
