As a computatoinal Linguist, I can speak to this. It should be possible using modern algorithms and techniques to divide the results of a search engine into articles for Joseph Smith, articles against Joseph Smith and articles neutral to Joseph Smith with reasonable accuracy.
There's been a bit of research in this in the past five years. There was two talks I heard at a recent Computational Lingustics Conference on this topic. The systems they talked about did quite well. One I think achieved around 98% accuracy at deciding was written by a pakestani or israeli point of view. Of course, these systems worked with a small set of articles and a small set of domains so applying this research to internet scope tools probably would be quite challenging. But, I could see a tool like this as a possibility in the future.

That kind of debating nonsense is best left to people that enjoy that
sort of thing, and
those whose knowledge is far greater than what I've seen on this list.
This list is better off focusing on solvable problems that bring order
and efficiency to
the Church today (or near so).
