    This is less about a chatbot having a political “bias” and more about the information pipeline it is exposed to. If low-quality partisan sites are copied, syndicated, and then fed back into retrieval systems, the model can make repetition look like corroboration. Provenance, date stamps, and showing the underlying sources matter; even a lightweight context log such as Contextpress is more useful than pretending the answer is source-free.

      See Musk and Bezos.
