Media framing bias can lead to increased political polarization, and thus, the need for automatic mitigation methods is growing.

Lastly, we conduct experimental analyses to provide insights about remaining challenges and future directions. One of the most interesting observations is that generation models can hallucinate not only factually inaccurate or unverifiable content, but also politically biased content.
