Isn’t that what blogs are for?
In a development that could titillate political partisans of all stripes, a new Web application (SpinSpotter – ed) promising to spot bias in news stories will launch on Monday, Sept. 8, just as this ferociously contested election season shifts into high gear.
Is there any computer with that much processing power? And this is hysterical:
Soon SpinSpotter will add a feature that will alert readers if a story uses suspiciously similar language to a press release.
That would probably be an end to most news stories.

Yeah, I’m excited about that.
It will pro’lly have issues like wikipedia where people try to manipulate it. But if the management are decent, it should have some good results.
