    If you don’t want people to be distracted by shitty right wing sources, the easiest solution would be using better sources…

      The source is fine, it’s your priorities that are wrong.

            Left or right doesn’t really enter into it from a moderating standpoint, but yeah, tabloid articles tend to lean into sensationalism over facts.

            Not as bad as AMERICAN tabloids which would be flat out removed:

            But man, things like the Sun and the Daily Mirror do walk a thin line.

              I’m following the list you gave, so I’m trying my best here. It’s the exact same rating as the Guardian.

              The only difference is left/right.

                Oh, I know, which is why I didn’t remove it.

                I’m just saying that the British tabloid press definitely has a reputation, and because of that, you will get complaints.

                They aren’t as bad as the US tabloids, but still. If you find a good story on a tabloid site, you might want to consider finding it through a different source.

                I have the same problem here in Oregon. KPTV is and has been an excellent news source, but they’re also a Fox affiliate, so I’m always like “Yeah, better see if I can find that from somewhere else…” Same problem with Sinclair stations.
