@new_user__3112022d75a1422e6eaf705 if you say there's a lion in your kitchen, we're not going to go to your house and check :) So our general approach is to make sure evidence is provided along with the claim, but we do not verify the substance of the claim - that task is unsolvable in the general sense.

@filimonov9 would love to see some examples. I think usually this happens to articles that are good but very opinionated, like op-ed columns. Our algorithms are fine-tuned on pure news items, so they penalize opinionated language pretty heavily. We plan to create a separate scale for op-eds in the near future.

@filimonov9 Thank you!

@zakharnikitin5 these two outlets score different because of how their articles are written, not because of their political stances. You might also note that CNBC scores about the same as Reuters and MSNBC scores about the same as Fox - so politically the scores are symmetric.

@zakharnikitin5 Thank you!

@new_user_db9cbf64cf twitter feed is essentially unfiltered, so most of it ends up being junk. We try to be as quick as twitter (by scraping sources in real time, including twitter itself), but we apply heavy filtering to everything to make sure only quality articles make it through.

@nikolay_paratyne You've probably noticed that we have news, podcasts, research studies, books, online courses, etc. We think the "holy grail" is to be able to navigate these layers seamlessly, to explore the same concept across the information space - zoom in, zoom out, peek sideways etc. That's our next step!
