Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
The bot is an annoyance, especially since mbfc is actually biased.
So block it
That's not sufficient.
A biased fact checking bot should not be allowed to operate in a public forum, giving weight to it's opinions as though it were a neutral source of truth.
If you want its services, you can go to their website and use it. It shouldn't be here.
I think you've inadvertently demonstrated the problem with calling out media "bias".
I would be interested to lean what, if anything, you'd say meets this description.
Only my uncle's drunken retelling of events he half heard on Newsmax are true!!1!!11!!!ONE!
Report it to the mods, if they consider it is providing "low-effort comments" (Rule 5) then they can block the bot from the community. Else you can block on your own user level.
i vote to keep the bot, for no other reason than that dude's butthurt about it
Blocking it at the user level effectively amplifies it, because then he doesn't see and downvote it any longer.
Good news! You can start your own instance! With black jack and hookers!
No. I'll deal with it in the way that seems appropriate for the moment.
