I'd say the reverse as well. Not only should posts to support an idea be reputable, certain threads/posters need to stick to reputable sources for things to DISAGREE with. Some threads just fall into a toilet of being the comment section of opinions on the hot takes of 16 year olds from alabama with 3 followers and it's funny at first, but at some point in threads that want to be more serious every single thread being endless gawking at whatever random no-body that has a bad opinion gets samey.

You could argue that an outlet which sometimes engages in things of seeming journalistic merit but also publishes outright propaganda is more dangerous, given that the former may have the effect of giving credence to the latter.

I feel like we can work on stomping out people posting literally false things before having to tackle the exact biases of various major news outlets.
