    YDI. A blocklist is not an exhaustive resource of unreliable sources that will not be accepted, it just hits the most common unreliable sources.

      The rule says check the blocklist for not allowed sources. If the mods decide a source unreliable they should add it to their blocklist.

      Even funnier that New York Post is allowed but discouraged.

          What is the point of the blocklist if it contain no websites and the moderators decide on the fly what they want to block?
