And, for future reference to others, if you flag such posts and also make a comment in the post for why that source is unreliable, it saves us a lot of time trying to figure out whether or not that is true (although the bot is a help despite it’s flaws).
Plus, even reliable sources can be wrong. It’s a lot easier for us to evaluate whether a post is misinformation if we’re told why the person reporting it believes it to be.
Edit: Also, although I don’t remember this, you must have posted it to World News because I’m not a News moderator.
Not really a big deal, I just didn’t want people to think I’m a mod where I’m not.
Edit: Also, I did not code the bot and I really didn’t have much input in it. The only reason I’m not wholly against it is that there really aren’t any other options without each source being evaluated individually. I agree there is a Zionism issue, but I also think that isn’t really a factor if it is a story about, for example, the famine in Sudan. If someone has a better site for rating media bias, please pass it along and I will let the person behind the bot know.

Yup, sorry you’re right - it was World News, not News.
