A new app called "Block The New York Times" allows Twitter users to block 800 corporate journalists for free with just one click in the "fight against disinformation."
"It's time to block," the app's official Twitter account tweeted Monday for the first time on the platform. "Twitter users have begun mass-blocking New York Times-linked accounts to control the flood of corporate disinformation online. Now, a new app automates the process."
A link accompanies the post, directing disaffected New York Times readers to the mobile application's landing page. The site itself mocks the publication's digital layout. Clicks anywhere on the listed categories or cover story lead curious users to blockNYT's authorization page, which requests access to their Twitter accounts.

I wish Google News and my iPhone news aggregate app would block Fake News sites like the Slmimes, XiNN, the Compost and etc.

Exactly! We need this for CNN, RNC, MSNBC, and the rest of the communist organizations.

I do not get updates from any of those sources.
In fact the only news I get is from Epoch Times.
What did I do right?

I’ve been doing this without an “app” for a long time.
It’s really simple. You just don’t read their drivel.
Lots of alternatives.
