Frightening, but extremely apropos that propaganda outlet Propornot is used as the benchmark to determine what is "reliable". Propornot first gained credibility as a source in a 2016 Washington Post article about "Russian disinformation". It was so hilariously bad that The Washington Post was quickly forced to amend the article with an editorial disclaimer about Propornot.
A detailed writeup of this debacle was done at the time by The Intercept:
