The most aggravating thing is that this should be a trivial fix!

If certain sources are being excluded from the system, mark them as such. It doesn't have to be a value judgement or dismissal. Just tagging "opinion or satire, not fact-checked" would be a huge step up. Beyond any topical debate, it's general good practice to make that sort of distinction. "Evaluated, nothing found" and "not evaluated" are fundamentally different: one is false, the other is null. Failing to distinguish them is either a serious oversight or an intentional weakening of an evaluation system.
