But abusive language and behavior needs to be bled out of that forum. Unfounded articles from blatantly partisan sources need to be labeled as much, like they do on Reddit. It's the number one complaint everybody has of that page.

You (and BRC) are making this much more complicated than it needs to be. First off, don't complain about how much the cesspool stinks if you plan on continuing to shit in it on a regular basis. Secondly, threads based on articles can be clearly marked by their titles. Follow a simple format. Source: Article. Include a pertinent paragraph or two in the OP (italicized and bolded) followed by a link. Then add your starting comment. Here, I'll give you an example:

OP:
Cake for breakfast? Study says go for it
By Rachel Rettner

Good news for the kid in you: Not only can you eat cake for breakfast, doing so may actually help you keep weight off, a new study suggests. In the study, obese participants who ate a breakfast high in protein and carbohydrates that included a dessert were better able to stick to their diet and keep the pounds off longer than participants who ate a low-carb, low-calorie breakfast that did not include sweets.

Hey look guys! Cake is good for you! Yippee!
Get it? We don't need a panel of assholes telling us what is and is not fake news. DC doesn't need to be a safe place designed to prevent snowflake meltage. There are already board-wide rules regarding threats/language/whatever that don't need to be modified just for DC.
