Bias Detector-tool to detect media bias

Example

When analyzing a news article about climate change, Bias Detector identifies phrases like 'radical environmentalists' or 'corporate apologists' as indicators of ideological slant. It can flag whether the language used is more aligned with left-leaning environmentalist views or right-leaning business-focused views.

Scenario

A journalist or editor might use Bias Detector to ensure that an article about a controversial topic like climate policy maintains a neutral tone, avoiding language that could be perceived as biased towards one side.

Example

Bias Detector highlights that an article describing a protest uses the term 'rioters' versus 'demonstrators,' showing a potential right-leaning framing in the former and left-leaning in the latter.

Scenario

A political scientist might use Bias Detector to compare media portrayals of the same event across different outlets, identifying how framing changes between right-leaning and left-leaning publications.

Example

Bias Detector flags that an article only references think tanks with known conservative affiliations, without offering balance from centrist or liberal sources.

Scenario

A researcher writing a report on media coverage could use Bias Detector to ensure that their sources are diverse and representative of multiple perspectives, avoiding reliance on a single ideological viewpoint.
