Would you prefer news written by a robot?

"Main Stream Media" AKA "MSM" has come to be used as a pejorative by many Americans, especially those of a conservative persuasion. There is little basis to argue that the principal purveyors of news both in print and broadcast are predominantly progressive liberals. (Really. Don't argue. Fully 80% of them self-identify as such.) Thus, they have created and maintain a "narrative" with that supports the progressive agenda. All the news that supports the narrative is splashed across the front pages while that which is adverse to their opinion is relegated to back pages if it is printed at all. Newspapers and broadcasters that fail to support the narrative are vilified (think Fox News).

Could we expect robotic journalists to fare any better? That depends on the algorithms that direct the news they write. Inasmuch as the programmers were most likely trained at the same colleges that produced the journalists, it is likely that they will be similarly indoctrinated with the liberal progressive ideology. (What? You want to argue again? Look at surveys of college professors and you'll see that the vast preponderance of them self-identify as liberal progressives.)
