Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Labour has U-turned on its pledge to create a Scottish-style right to roam in the English countryside if elected, the Guardian can reveal.
There has been a recent groundswell of public campaigns involving mass trespasses, which have sometimes attracted thousands of people, asking for a general right to walk across the English countryside.
The 2000 act gives a legal right of public access to mountains, moorland, heaths and some downland and commons, alongside the more recently created England coast path.
The shadow environment secretary, Steve Reed, said that he would be “astonished” if increased access to nature would not be in the next Labour manifesto but added there was a need to “respect the needs of farmers, producers and growers not to have their crops damaged”.
Guy Shrubsole from the Right to Roam campaign said: “Piecemeal extension of the Crow Act won’t lead to equitable access for the people who need it most.
“We look forward to continuing to work with Labour as they develop their plans, and we’ll be stepping up our campaigning over the next year to show why England should follow Scotland’s lead on access.”
