Why would ideological inclination be a primary bias factor unless the ideology includes such pettiness as putting your bias ahead of your work as one of thousands of low level fact checker employees?
If I try to not be a blind ideologue over such a small thing as being a fact checker, wouldn’t I be better than median politics fact checkers who want to exert their bias as much as possible?
We don’t want political stuff in the fact checking. It’s far more bias to have fact checkers who are in line with the median citizen and put their political stances above fact checking. Aka doing their work.
Every one has biases. However not every one will consciously or otherwise, have their biases seep into determining what is misinformation or not and so on.
Edit: Even sadder is the parent is not down voted to greyness like the person you responded to. A sad take. Not only putting bias ahead of an attempt at “the truth”. But leaning into that. Which makes the thread make sense —- not even trying to act in good faith.
