Thank you for this. Might I suggest a limit for users who spam articles as well. You can tell they are trying to curate and push a narrative.

Welcome!
We strive for high-quality standards on the latest world events.
The basis of these standards comes from the MBFC, which uses an aggregate of methodologies, including the IFCN and World Freedom Indices, to rate the Bias and Factual Reporting of News.
Does your post fit the standards? Check this thread!
Rules:
Rule 1: No Further Gaza/Israel war posts
Rule 2: No US internal news/US politics
Rule 3: Editorials, opinions, analysis, blogs, gifs, memes, etc non-serious news sources
Rule 4: Non-English articles require a translation in the post or comments (mark the title with the source language eg. [FR] for French)
Rule 5: Petitions, advocacy, surveys
Rule 6: All-caps titles
Rule 7: Old news (≥ 1-Month-old) articles
Rule 8: Unlabeled NSFW images/videos
Rule 9: URL shorteners
- The general rules of the sh.itjust.works instance apply!
Thank you.

MODERATORS
I'll be editing this thread much later, but to make a very rough draft and tl;dr:
Visit Mediabiascheck, and post the name of your News or Source into its Search Function.
If entered correctly, the MBFC page for your News will appear, showing you its rankings on Bias and Factual Reporting:
Only posts within Left-Right Bias are allowed; aim for Least Biased.
Only posts that are High or Very High in Factual Reporting are allowed.
Still not sure? Try these!

BBC News
-
The New York Times
-

National Public Radio (NPR)
There's a browser plug-in that can help you too: https://drmikecrowe.github.io/mbfcext/
And, similar site: https://ground.news/
It allows you to look at a story and see all of the different sites reporting it as well as including a factuality and bias rating for the site.
