Shill Detector - Chrome Add-on for Identifying Biased Journalists
Shill Detector is a free Chrome add-on developed by AliveExtensions. This add-on aims to notify users if they are reading a webpage that contains the name of a biased journalist. By creating a warning at the top of the page, Shill Detector alerts users to the potential bias of the journalist mentioned.
It is important to note that Shill Detector is currently limited to detecting direct links only and does not support dynamically loaded data into an existing page. However, it provides a valuable tool for users who are concerned about the credibility and objectivity of the journalists they encounter online.
The list of biased journalists used by Shill Detector is based on Wikileaks emails exchanged between the HRC campaign, DNC, and journalists. This compilation was made possible thanks to the contribution of Reddit user hiphiphurrayx2.
With Shill Detector, users can make more informed decisions about the information they consume, allowing them to be aware of potential biases in journalism.
