Thanks for your kind response and advice. I will see how things develop and eventually contact mods.

but i think you have the wrong community for this topic. We already tried on making a “Bias fact check Bot aggregator” but it got… i would say best case not welcomed.
I wouldn’t know which other forum I could use, as my question is to Mods and members.
The mediafact bot was unfortunately not very popular and not the most user friendly experirnce. But before it’s introduction, most unreliable sources were addressed by mods anyway, and in most cases they still are. Iir, the mediabias & having good sources are still covered by community rules, with some room for interpretation ofcourse.
I’m just interested in having a conversation about this ( to me relevant)topic, and how mods and involved posters were handling it.
Basically, I was comforted by the first comment, the one describing that seemingly, the whole world is having a hard time “dealing with it”.
Personally, I find myself reluctant to simply just post any sensationalist post, which would only lead to more polarisation, regardless the media outlet. On the otherhand, some news while still polarising could add to new relevant pov or offer new information. That’s how I probably will handle it. Any other insights are most welcome.

Example of some recent titles
“The US is now the enemy of the west” ( FT),
" Trump: EU was formed to screw USA – and they’ve done a good job of it "
Again, not judging, just to clarify my question.

- Comment on A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to? 1 month ago:
Who are “they”?
Russian and Chinese communism
Yes, both have been forms of authorities rules.
And in light of OP’s question. To me “they” are all the authoritarians; both the extreme left and right winged.

You mean a strike in USA? Saw midwest ? Maybe put that in the title. A bit confusing for citizens not in the USA.

- Comment on Why is Green and Red the colors of Christmas? 3 months ago:
The Xmas tree probably originates from the Nordic" Tree of life ". I remember reading it was used to celebrate life and the return of light during the dark cold winters in the north
To celebrate and remember the return of the sun, lights were used to chase away the dark; green as a symbol of returning life, like vegetation and plants, and red probably symbolises fruit and harvest.
There are several versions and interpretation, so it probably depends in which country it was used and in which century.
Santa Claus , originally Saint Nicolaus, was merged with Wodan (Nordic God). Many old Germanic/Nordic religions were integrated with Christian symbolism and rituals.

- Comment on How did Third World countries handle the Covid Pandemic? 5 months ago:
A better wording would be using the term developing nations. The term 'third world ’ refers to not being part of NATO (or not aligned to NATO), and is outdated. Also, there various sorts of developing countries, richer, poorer, and some are war or conflict zones.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] What have you been watching this week? 2nd of May 11 months ago:
I just saw Godzilla minus one,( [link metacritic])(www.metacritic.com/movie/godzilla-minus-one/) and I was left with awe about the script and the music. It’s situated in post WW2 Japan, and since we have national Memorial Day for the fallen this week in my country, it felt appropriate.
The monster in itself is not a high end design, but the movie feels like a colorized old authentic movie. It has a special atmosphere . I appreciated the metaphor for godzilla as a mix of ancient folklore and the spirit of defeat and reconstruction after WW II. I highly recommend this movie if you’re into this (specific) genre.
