Mods already said they won't remove it because they use it as a quick basis if articles get reported.

Which is kinda dumb because you could automate that client side without a community wide bot.

If they wanna have it, I'd rather have it link to a proper media aggregate site like ground news which combine both source reporting and published bias info from multiple sources:

Why did you comment? If you followed your own logic then you would have just blocked me instead.

To be serious, I think it's much better for the community if we do not allow misinformation bots to spam every post.

It has been removed from some communities, but still in some.

Totally agree.

As a temporary measure, I have blocked that bot from my feed.
