I think it's great to have immigration news being fed right into the site all the time, but I'm also wondering how they are aggregated/from where?

There have been many times when the stories are from non-credible sources and have a decidedly anti-immigrant slant.

This is an example from today.

Is there a way to filter out this stuff, and only use stories from major newspapers or already proven pro-immigrant sources?

I was wondering about this also.

I can't open the links here at work (bad sign because most news stuff I can open) but I deleted these two. I asked Marie if there is a way we can change the settings but I have a feeling it's not that simple. Anyway, please feel free to point out any bad ones and we can get rid of them.

Thanks! Sounds good. :)

The auto feed is automatic and there may be a few times where some news articles do come through. Just report those. There is always going to be a few bad ones with all the others.

It's really not that big of a deal, use the report button or pm me.
