Reminds me of this koan:
In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.
“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.
“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.
“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes.
“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
> Bias vs. Biased
> In recent years, we have seen more evidence of the adjectival bias in constructions like “a bias news program” instead of the more usual “a biased news program.”
> The reason is likely because of aural confusion: the -ed of biased may be filtered out by hearers, which means that bias and biased can sound similar in the context of normal speech.
> They are not interchangeable, however. The adjective that means “exhibited or characterized by an unreasoned judgment” is biased (“a biased news story”). There is an adjective bias, but it means “diagonal” and is used only of fabrics (“a bias cut across the fabric”).

From this literal sense of "slant," you get the figurative sense of "inclination" or "preferential treatment." This meaning appears in quotations hundreds of years old.
Finally, as "biased" stops being a fancy newspaper word and enters the popular lexicon, it gets subjected to regular pronunciation tendencies. And one of those tendencies is the simplification and elimination of -d at the ends of words. A lot of people in the US pronounce "hand me that" as "hammy that," "send me an email" as "simmy an email," and so on.
So it's not surprising that saying and writing "bias" instead of "biased" is popular.
Ah, interesting; didn't know about that particular definition.
1. This is an "source available" project, they published with sourcemaps on: https://twitter.com/adgodev/status/1410667547335217169
2. They copy a lot of content (images + posts) from Twitter itself. For example, they hotlink images from Twitter: https://twitter.com/z3dster/status/1410654138921279499
3. They will be enforcing moderation practices to remove "objectionable material of any kind" per their user agreement.
It must be written in Java. Does it come bundled with a Settr app?
No one can afford to moderate a social network that attracts a small group of people requiring a disproportionate amount of moderation.
Moderate enough and it’s both too expensive and not seen as “free speech” enough by the target audience. Moderate too little and you’ll expose yourself to legal risk and you’ll struggle to find hosting.
We have seen this before.
>The court filing in question stated that Delgado had been informed that Miller had an affair with a “Jane Doe”; that this other woman became pregnant; that shortly thereafter, Miller visited the woman’s apartment with a smoothie; and that unbeknownst to Jane Doe, the smoothie contained an abortion pill, which induced an abortion.
>Krueger’s article reads, in part, “Additionally, the court documents claim, when the woman found out she was pregnant, Miller surreptitiously dosed her with an abortion pill without her knowledge, leading, the woman claims, to the pregnancy’s termination and nearly her death.”
Tell people that everything from when they were young is "right" and that everything new in the last n years is "wrong".
You won't even need to do much research. Hand around people of the age that you're targeting, and just parrot their opinions.
(WARNING: This doesn't work if the people you hang around are perpetual learners and constantly challenge themselves. If they're the kind of person who takes language classes "for fun", run away -- their opinions will have nothing to do with your target.)
56% of Republican and GOP-leaning voters are ages 50 and older, up from 39% in 1996.

Otherwise, invent a character you think right-wingers would like and play the character on YouTube or similar. See how it goes. Low-cost, might work.
Begin by maybe getting the domain name "squeeeeeelreport.com", installing Wordpress, put some Christian and American flag paraphernalia up there as well. Then repost articles but comment on it as though you were one of them.
Don't forget to pepper each post title with SLAMS and DESTORYS and HAPPENING.
