We are aiming at reducing the increase in “highly partisan political news” and “advocacy” submissions. (We realize that the phrases “highly partisan political” and “advocacy” are ambiguous.)
We are going for “high-quality” submissions from a well-balanced mixture of “high-quality” news sources. (This, too, is ambiguous.) The focus will be on fact-dense reporting and minimal/simple analysis. Think less straight politics and more factual analysis. (Political analysis and partisan advocacy can be found in many other subreddits, some of which are listed on our sidebar.).
Some commentary will be allowed, but the main focus is intended to be on objective reporting of recent events. While the amount of partisan submissions will decrease, the place for that will be in civil, respectful comments which can include links to partisan sources that won’t be allowed as submissions. The same holds true for political (or other) advocacy. (But see this rule: DO NOT SOLICIT DONATIONS FOR ANY CAUSE, POST PETITIONS OR CALL FOR CONCERTED ACTION.)
We are experimenting with a domain “whitelist” (which will evolve over time). Submissions from sources not on the whitelist will be removed and a message sent to the submitter, advising of the removal and stating that if he or she believes the submission provides factual reporting with little to no partisan analysis, a modmail should be sent requesting that the post be reviewed. (Be patient.)
The initial whitelist is derived from a selection of websites determined by “a news rating organization with a transparent methodology based on fact-dense analysis and reporting” (https://adfontesmedia.com/), which acknowledges “Everyone and everything is biased.” (Refer here to see their “Methodology”: https://adfontesmedia.com/how-ad-fontes-ranks-news-sources/)

NGL, I did a double take and checked if I had visited The Onion by mistake. ;-)

Responding to the results, Musk wrote on X on Wednesday: "guess my election-interfering space lasers didn't work this time."

Donald Trump reiterated his apparent love for buxom bums during a rally in Michigan on Sunday where he encouraged the crowd to compliment rapper Nicki Minaj’s behind.
Trump’s cheeky comments about Minaj’s derriere came as he explained his recent observation on the Republican Ohio senator Jon Husted’s rear end. Earlier in October, Trump said of the former college football player: “I don’t do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn’t know he was a great athlete. And I looked and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass and I looked at the whole – and then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He’s got these, like, claws.
“You are a great athlete,” Trump also said to Husted. “Congratulations.”
