  • (2018-02-08) Maya B: https://medium.com/@ShafiqueRashid/how-does-ven-know-left-from-right-74643b855077 The developer's views of what is left or right are skewed. The left-of-moderate New York Times is given as "Far Left". Has this hack even heard of socialism or communism or The New Republic or any actual leftist news sources? Anyone who places the New Yorker as equally as left as Daily Kos doesn't understand spectrums. The Wall Street Journal article linked does a better job, but even there, the right side is consistently more prone to opinion rather than reportage. http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed In short, don't waste your time. This app will make you stupid.

  • (2017-01-24) Rebecca Tang: Huge fan of this tool esp after the election and reading about how much our FB newsfeeds influenced our (my) opinions and expectations of others' opinions. SO interesting!!
  • (2017-01-24) Naim Rashid: Love this extension - gives me some perspective when I am reading any article shared on facebook
  • (2017-01-24) Cyrus Stoller: Simple extension that helps remind me of the political biases of the news that I'm reading! Highly recommended.
