If you need a bot to tell you a source is or isn't biased, then you shouldn't be reading the news in the first place.

This comment seems rather ableist.

The Media Bias Fact Checker bot helps people who have autism understand biased language which may not be readily apparent without an outside source warning us about the biases.

I take it some people see it as a protest at the way their clients misrender the formatting.

Because your average lemming is a wingnut who thinks anyone to the right of Stalin is a fascist.
