Hello, can you remove dailywire.com from the block list? This is a reputable news site. Thanks!

giantslor commented 6 years ago

No, it's not a reputable news site. See https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-daily-wire/

Based on that link, you could say the same thing about CNN as their aggregate result of factual reporting is mixed. The only difference between say, The Daily Wire and CNN/MSNBC is that TDW leans right and CNN/MSNBC lean left. IMO the political agenda of a media organization does not dictate whether it does or does not constitute fake news.

CNN has biases among individual hosts and commentators, not a site-wide overt political agenda as The Daily Wire has. CNN has been around for decades and has established a reputation as a top source for hard news. Daily Wire has been around for two years and its reputation, such as it is, is that of a purveyor of hard-right slanted articles (I hesitate to call them "news.") Also, many of CNN's supposed inaccuracies are a result of live commentary by various commentators, most of them on the right, as you can see by a cursory glance at Politifact's page about CNN.

The Daily Wire may not rise to the level of fake news, but it definitely isn't reputable like CNN.

The Daily Wire may not rise to the level of fake news

I guess that's the point of this issue and subsequent fix; The Daily Wire is not fake news therefore does not belong on a fake news block list.

Happy Holidays!

I was mainly disputing the idea that it's a reputable site.
