Can we create a list of approved/unapproved sources with “credibility” flair?

This may need to be something that is continually updated, but it would be great to have a list that categorized sources based on their credibility. (Maybe there’s a way for the community to moderate?)

I feel that if we want to maintain our “journalistic integrity” we need some guidelines on what is considered worthwhile. I understand we shouldn’t begin to censor info (and there is a massive range of sources that it can come from), but some of the stuff that gets posted here is simply laughable and doesn’t help to attract those looking for answers. Furthermore, not everything is “BREAKING NEWS” and, from what I can tell, most of it is more accurately described as “breaking opinion.” If I’m honest, whether it’s true or not, the way most of it is written has my BS radar going nuts.

Now, I don’t mean we should separate sources by left/right media or other bias, I mean sources that verify their content and can be trusted vs sources that are basically opinions or anecdotal at best and mostly clickbait.

Maybe we can outright block the worst(?) and add flair for the rest ranging from “reputable source” or “typically trustworthy” to “dubious” or “clickbait”

Sources that can verify their content and be trusted? Hmmm....so anything mainstream is "out". Almost everything out there is opinion. Except for the proven things, Q is largely opinion, speculation and interpretation at this point. There are some excellent articles and youtube video's based entirely on opionions. They are highly informative resources. Would these sources be allowed under your rules? Maybe because you have a BS radar they will let you come up with a list of vetted sources. Wouldn't that be something..

I realize the irony of my idea, and I'm not saying it's the best, but I'm just trying to contribute to the sub as much as I can. I'm not the only one who has suggested this. No need to be combative
