Showing Up Media Bias

sparkmeter-logo-mid.gifWith the looming elections, Sparkmeter.com could become a very valuable site.  The site allows you to rate articles based on their bias.  The effect of such a site could be profound if it wasn’t for one major flaw.

The people rating the articles will have there own biases and therefore how can anyone truly make an informed rating.  Is it possible to find news without bias?  The site is devided into three article categories; leaning left, leaning right and objective.  Maybe it should just be Pro Bush and Against Bush, as that is how it seems to play out.

I encourage you to take a look, and tell me if you think a site like this can work.  I dont think it will
