We leave it to the AI.
We have gone to a lot of trouble to try to engineer the prompt to make it clear to Gemini that it should take a "non-partisan and unbiased" view in all the analysis. This is an attempt to get away from any person's opinion, including ours.
Obviously, whether you think it achieving that ideal is in the eye of the beholder :-) But it is certainly less biased than most mainstream media, and social network echo chambers.

So the bias is left to the AI's training set?
I sent feedback to ground.news the other day asking them to have a toggle to get rid of the left/rightometers on their articles.
So much of this nonsense is framed around some arbitrary understanding of left/right by americans which has basically no bearing or interest to me. Its helpful to have a source of news that can identify coverage gaps, but I dont need everything helpfully added to some subjective seppo political bucket.
Even in your example you dont explain whether you are talking about positive or negative liberty, a relatively neutral framework to discuss liberty that pre exists AI.
