That site is political in nature. All the news stories you see are political.

What makes it different, un-partial if you will, is that it breaks down the articles for you. Telling you in what direction the article is spun, or if it's not spun at all. It even tells you how "educated" the writing is.

This makes it easier for the reader to discern what is being said and why. If you don't want to read something that is Republican in nature, you don't have to read the first few paragraphs to figure it out. The editors already did that for you.

It's also good from an educational standpoint. If you so choose, you can read an article with the focus on why something is being reported in the vein that it is. This helps you to better understand the mindset of people who have a different political affiliation than you.

This, a better understanding, in turn leads to a more educated view of the whole picture. Both your standing on an issue and theirs. And this, in my opinion, helps get issues resolved quicker and with more depth. Being un-partial, or at the very least bi-partisan, gives you the whole view of a topic. Not just the scenery from one side of the fence.

I'm not a political animal, I'm married to my job at this point, but many people are. Regardless of what some people might tell you, bi partisanship is virtually non-existent today. This is the reason why Congress can't agree on anything and nothing substantial gets accomplished. Hopefully, this site will take off and will leave a trail of copycats behind it making this train of thought more widely available to more people. And hopefully, this will wake people up to the fact that the current two party system we have is too political in nature to get things accomplished. Hopefully, sites like this will put a more personal spin on everything so we can once again see the real world forest through the political trees.

In short, this site is taking the motto "Deny Ignorance" to a whole new level.

If people can't do that for themselves I don't think they should be reading the news in the first place.

I wouldn't be so quick with that. Don't think for a second that the people who write these articles, or more precisely the people who pay other people to write these articles (I'm a freelancer BTW, I do things of my own accord) don't put a lot of thought into them. They do. You know how bankers can manipulate numbers to where the common man doesn't know what's really going on? The same thing happens with big time political writers.

The education level of the average American today has gone down. The people in charge of media know this and use it in their favor. They use that lack of understanding most people have, to form sentences, paragraphs and whole articles to sway people to one side of the fence or another without most people even realizing what's going on.

Do you know what the Chicago (GPO) style is? ( I'll give you a hint, facts aren't high on their priority list) If you don't don't be so quick to judge people who can't formulate their own opinions as to why someone writes the way they do, because you're one of them.

They don't add their own spin. They tell you what the spin is. There's a difference. If you don't believe me ask Copyscape.

Politics.I have totally ignored it to a certain degree.
I have been "in" the mix before and seen it in action,then turned a blind eye in disgust.
I have been to political socials with senators and such.
Like private parties.
That was long ago.
Thats when Strom Thurmond was around,jeez he was old.
And,yes,I'm originally from South Carolina.
I got out of the loop and led a normal life,sort of.
Lots of money being tossed around for favors.
Back then it was free food and booze.Lots of it.
It still is today.

So,now I have finally awaken to what is really going on.
I blame myself for ignoring it.
I just checked out,you know what I mean.

Sooner or later ,it catches up with you.

I hear ya.

Politics never really interested me though aside from the fact that I always saw it as something that needs to be changed. Sites like that should help if enough people want the change.

I've looked around there some today. From what I can tell its read only.

What I'd like to know is there any over-all stats produced / available from its analysis?

The reason I'm asking is that gives the supposed bias or slant of the articles it covers. So, it would be great if it had some kind of stats that could help settle the great "bias in the MSM" argument.
