Oh, I know, which is why I didn’t remove it.
I’m just saying that the British tabloid press definitely has a reputation, and because of that, you will get complaints.
They aren’t as bad as the US tabloids, but still. If you find a good story on a tabloid site, you might want to consider finding it through a different source.
I have the same problem here in Oregon. KPTV is and has been an excellent news source, but they’re also a Fox affiliate, so I’m always like “Yeah, better see if I can find that from somewhere else…” Same problem with Sinclair stations.
Left or right doesn’t really enter into it from a moderating standpoint, but yeah, tabloid articles tend to lean into sensationalism over facts.
Not as bad as AMERICAN tabloids which would be flat out removed:

But man, things like the Sun and the Daily Mirror do walk a thin line.
I’m probably biased, being an American, but those numbers don’t seem significant for a country with 56 million people.
13,000 migrants in 3 months?
So the overall population increased 0.0002321429?
Opinion articles may or may not be factual, which makes them opinion.
Yours seems well sourced and backed up so there’s no problem.

Removed, you truncated the quote which takes it out of context.
From the VP debate:

“But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there. You saw it experienced today, where, along with our Israeli partners and our coalition, able to stop the incoming attack. But what’s fundamental here is that steady leadership is going to matter.”

Rule 3 states that opinion articles “may” be removed, but frankly I’m not seeing a compelling reason to remove this other than it’s flagged as opinion.
Dunno yet, that’s something Rooki and the other user will have to sort out, but I’m all for improvements!
I feel your pain. Some readers, like mine (Boost) don’t handle the spoiler tag markup correctly and it ends up bigger than designed.
The Admins removed it there.
That actually is partially listed on the MBFC site, but you have to follow the link through from the bot to see it:

"Funded by / Ownership
The Guardian and its sister publication, the Sunday newspaper The Observer, are owned by Guardian Media Group plc (GMG). Scott Trust Limited was created in 1936 to ensure the editorial independence of the publications and owns Guardian Media Group plc (GMG). The Guardian states that “The Scott Trust is the sole shareholder in Guardian Media Group, and its profits are reinvested in journalism and do not benefit a proprietor or shareholders.” Donations and advertising fund the Guardian.
The Guardian switched to a tabloid print format in 2018 to cut costs. According to The New York Times, The Guardian “refused to set up a paywall — the preferred strategy of many of its rivals, from The Times of London to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times — opting instead to ask its readers for donations, even setting up a nonprofit arm to help fund its journalism.”"
When the question is “how do we improve it?” the answer “get rid of it” is not a genuine suggestion.
The GOOD news is, we DO have a genuinely good suggestion here and the bot creator will be reaching out.
Because the winner of the US election is going to have a massive impact on the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
The #1 and #2 topics in World.
You and me both! They did have a point when the bot had a donation nag on it, the bot creator heard that complaint and removed it.
Removed for being internal US news, not World News. US band, US crime, US court case.
Would be good for News though.
Fun fact, their debut album features art by Dan Sweetman, which originally came from the comic book series Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children. I believe the band name came from the same book.
