Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

They've got a good rating, it just feels like implicit bias.
Something can still be propaganda even if it's true, and it's hard to quantify bias in article selection.
To report a statement from the US government? Who would you propose?
The US government releasing a statement...
Not a "non profit" controlled by the US government.
I think it's an important difference there, but I understand some people would be fine with it as long as they agree with government administration currently in power.
Unfortunately very few people think both parties should be held accountable
~~I believe this sub requires articles, doesn’t it? I don’t think an official statement would qualify, but I’m mot a mod.~~
Never mind. It appears that’s not the case. I must have gotten confused with the rules for /c/politics
