Interesting little application for twitter. Thought I'd share. https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter Gives a bar graph showing if the news sources one reads are left, right, or center. See below.
Sounds terrible. Spent more time listening and understanding each other's beliefs instead of being concerned with their source.
I always find these “bias” checker pretty useless for reasons I don’t care to explain. But their website is a good starting point for bubble busting. https://ground.news/ https://ground.news/blindspotter/our-methodology What the tool does not tell you The data generated by the tool should not be interpreted as exactly representative of someone’s political beliefs. An individual’s news diet may inform their political beliefs, but it is not the only determinant. Someone who expresses partisan views may have a balanced Twitter news diet and hold those views for different reasons. Limitations of the tool Our tool cannot decipher if an interaction with news content is positive or negative.The results of the tool may be less meaningful for accounts largely run by assistants/staffers.Our tool only records interactions with news sources that have a bias rating, so smaller local publications may not be included as a “news interaction”We source our bias ratings from allsides, mediabiasfactcheck and adfontesmedia.
