This bot is spreading misinformation. This bot is spreading rightwing propaganda. This bot is spamming every post. This bot is consistently downvoted. This bot degrades the user experience. Please ban it.

People hate shitty bot, lw admin triples down and is threatening to make it against lw terms of service to down vote it.

Taking bets on how long until it's a confirmed violation to be against the bot?

      It's a bot that just says that Radio Free Asia is completely unbiased every time you post an RFA link, absolutely nothing to be concerned about. i-love-not-thinking

      It appears to be a centrism bot. "Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) is an independent website that has promoted awareness of media bias and misinformation by rating the bias, factual accuracy, and credibility of media sources"

      https://lemmy.world/u/MediaBiasFactChecker

      The bot tells users that US government funded propaganda organizations like Radio Free Asia is "Left-Center - Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: High" and Voice of America is "Least Biased - Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: High"
