      That is fair, I guess I take issue with how the bot makes it sound as if it reporting the unbiased truth, it would be better if it said something like:

      “Generic News is a digital newspaper reportibg on global events, it was founded in 2022 by Generic Trends, a marketing company. The stated goals of Generic News is to be unbiased and equal in their reporting, but the site has quickly gained a reputation of leaning toward libertarianism.”
