Realize there's not such thing as a middle ground anymore. What a joke.

Recently I and other users have noticed that the headlines on the front page of this subreddit appear to be pulled from a host of sources:
Reuters (great)
DJT's Twitter handle (spin, but great)
Whitehouse.gov (talking points, but still great)
TheHill (center-right, but great)
That's a great first bucket. Here are some other sources that have been pulled:
FOX News - uhhh...
Then I look at some places users are posting articles from
The "Washington Examiner" - an openly conservative outlet that is highly influential within conservative circles. Explicitly started to combat the liberal stance of the Washington Post.
The "Washington Times" - conservative news publication owned and operated by a South Korean church entity. Also started explicitly to combat the liberal stance of the Washington Post.
Not to mention a post from one user from
informationliberation.com - do I even need to make an argument for this? Beyond hosting articles from InfoWars on its front page, the site's "About - Multimedia" page which professes letting everyone know "what's really going on" in the world hosts media content about, among other things: white genocide, Austrian economics, and whatever the fuck this is
And this is just from the past two days. I don't know how MyRSSBot is programmed, but would appreciate a little moderator intervention here. My search of the past week or so reveals nothing from left-leaning journalistic outfits like NYT, WaPo, or Politico (the fact that this is now considered left-wing news is...beyond me) being automatically pulled despite the bot's programmed proclivity for Fox News.
I think it's fair to say that the bot either 1) shouldn't be pulling from explicitly conservative organizations or 2) should equally be pulling from Democrat Underground, Daily Kos and Huffington Post. And I think users need to make a better effort here to avoid posting from two-bit opinion shops masquerading as serious news organizations. Personally I can't stand the latter option, and would prefer the former.
