They’re taking the thinking out of news reading.
I’m a fairly ardent critic of media bias, but I’m not sure this sort of thing is healthy for political discourse. Citizens should evaluate reporting for themselves, not rely on some computer program to do it for them.
Depends on what the index gets used for. As an objective measure of overall bias (averaged over a lot of stories that is), this would be a useful measure.
Almost certainly it’s flawed and completely unscientific to apply any of these measures to an individual story though, which is what Microsoft is doing though.
