Fix

Political bias neutrality was calculated incorrectly. The old formula (100 − biasScore) only penalized right-leaning sources — a far-left outlet like Palmer Report (bias score ~15) received 85/100 neutrality (green), which is wrong.

The correct formula measures distance from center: 100 − 2 × |biasScore − 50|. Both extremes are now penalized symmetrically:

Source Bias score Old neutrality New neutrality
Far Left (~15) 15 85 30
Center (~50) 50 50 100
Moderate Right (~70) 70 30 60
Far Right (~95) 95 5 10
