Love Politic

Really enjoy this app. It’s really nice choosing how biased I want an article to be and it’s super convenient!

Great idea but......

It’s almost as if when choosing articles from left leaning outlets (cnn, etc..) they purposely seek out the one in a million articles that the “journalist” doesn’t add in their own opinions, they don’t even put in articles where the author hides his opinion by saying “well some people say - inserts own opinion- blah blah blah”

I wonder how much money they have to pay for the man hours it takes to search through “newsstories” from fake news outlets on the left to find non opinionated articles.

There are fake news “opinionated stories” on the right but they aren’t mysteriously excluded from this apps feed like the same type of stories from the left.

Finally

A perfect app to read news articles while rating the biases of them. Politic has changed my life. If you are lonely or depressed, give Politic a try.

Politics mainlined into my bloodstream

I am almost angry at this app for stealing all my time. Now I get to rate and debate politics in the very comments of news articles about politics!

Excellent app by Gavin Wolfe!

I am a huge fan and can see this app becoming big in the App Store!
