Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.

Tbf, CNN and Fox are ostensibly different, CNN is one of the major news outlets who constantly supports gun control (while secretly hoping the problem never stops because it would hurt their ratings.) Mental health and security are more Fox's take specifically.
As for "metal musics and violent video games" that seems to be a scapegoat for both sides (and neither), the PMRC was bipartisan, Tipper Gore is literally Al's wife but many other members were conservative christian "Mom's against everything demand everything" types. The christian censors obviously participating because they want to force their god on others and the liberal side because they know what is good for you even if you're too stupid to decide for yourself "because you're an uneducated ~~colored~~ POC or a poor white." This one is specifically both sides, with both sides also saying the censors can complain all they want but they can't do shit about it. More specifically, this issue (Tommy Vercetti made me do it) transcends "sides," opting instead to create its own "sides."
It's also older than our school shooting problem, so "goalposts" have been moved back to their 1980s positions. Get ready, Satanic Panic 2: Beelzebub Boogaloo is on deck next.
