that is EXACTLY what i want in news.
i do not want your summarization opinion out-of-context clickbait eye-catching headline snippet.
just be a parrot.
- sethammons 2mo agoNo no no. Absolutely not. A parrot repeats, we need verification. "We've always been at war with Eurasia." -Politimouth The news should say this is not true when it is not true.
- partyficial 2mo agohow do you know the news is any more true than the source it is verifying ? Now i have to research whether two sources are true or not.

- sethammons 2mo agoReputation and some fact checking. I want my news to say, "politician say x; and is a liar, here is the evidence." Nobody should want a propaganda parrot. If I look into it and the politician is not lying, I know to trust the source less.
- avaer 2mo agoParroting seems like the same thing ("out-of-context clickbait eye-catching headline snippet"), except without any checks or oversight.
