URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Does this mean pirate radio goes though the same process? That could get very interesting.

I've always felt the fcc is a violation of the first amendment. Speech was never meant to be limited to what I can do with my vocal cords.

Not problem if blasting radio waves into the air makes life difficult for profiteers.
