Partiskt is a transparency tool. We don't fact-check SVT — we frame-check them. Our goal is to detect editorializing and return the news to strictly factual wire-style reporting.
What We Mean by "Neutral"
We define neutral as strictly factual wire-style reporting:
- Only verifiable facts — who, what, when, where, why, how
- Minimal adjectives and adverbs (only those required for accuracy)
- Clear separation between reported statements and established facts
- All significant credible perspectives represented fairly
- No emotional language, no implied moral judgment, no spin presented as fact
What We Mean by "Bias"
Bias is any deviation from the strict wire-service standard above.
- Bias score (0–10): How much editorializing, loaded language, omission, or framing is present.
- Direction (-10 to +10): Left-leaning framing vs right-leaning framing. Zero = no detectable direction.
Why We Neutralize Debate Articles
While opinion pieces are expected to be biased, they often use emotional manipulation and hyperbole that obscure actual policy facts. By neutralizing political rhetoric, we strip away the outrage and present only the core claims. This 'de-weaponizes' the debate, allowing readers to focus on the signal rather than the noise, and holds politicians accountable for their arguments.
