Machine Learning Can't Flag False News, New Studies Show - Slashdot

Even outlets that try to avoid that as best they can still face the difficult task of making sure that even if they're reporting facts, that they aren't excluding some or presenting them in a way that is designed to lead the individuals consuming that news to wrong or improper conclusions. I've noticed that most days Foxnews.com has an article about a cop heroically saved a three year old girl, or donated a month of their salary to a battered woman's shelter, or whatever. These stories are probably perfectly true, and the reporter may have done a good job on the article. Also, most days CNN has a "bad cop" story, frequently stretching back to something that happened a long time ago "bad cop up in 2018 shooting for parole". That story is also true.
