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:

Hi,

we have already a link to ground news, and we try to get api access to other aggregators, but all have reall high prices or just dont have the wanted data. ( We dont want to scrape it as it could get us in legal troubles )

Thanks for your suggestion.
