    Fox News is indeed on our list of “not-preferred” sources, although not blacklisted currently. The cocept basically started with this chart, and us determining that we’d prefer if this community didn’t constantly have posts from some of the most biased outlets out there, and really began as “we prefer if you use sources that aren’t in the furthest left and furthest right columns”, and we encourage users to only use sources from those columns if they’re unable to find the same story from a different outlet. We needed to set something up in stone though, so as I said, there is a blacklist, but it’s not extensive at this point in time but will regularly be updated as needed.

    All of that said, I googled the article title and quickly found multiple other stories on this, but most of the top ones either linked to the Fox News article or to a Fox News local subsidiary with essentially the same article. Upon reading a few other ones, it appears this link and those contain basically the same content, so I’ll leave this one up.

    Most of these will have to be evaluated like above on a case-by-case basis, but again for anyone reading this, we prefer if you find another news outlet (and that isn’t just Fox News).

    Edit - The blacklist is open for users to view here, and the bot will automatically remove posts from any sources that are currently or in the future added to this list.
