Then PinkNews has to be regarded as a captured source.
Pethaps a dumb question, but what is a captured source?
A news source that is captured by interests that conflict with the reporting of news. A classic example is General Electric who bought a lot of advertising from the big three US broadcast networks, CBS, NBC and ABC, so news that put GE in bad light (heh) was routinely suppressed.
Pink News is a niche agency that reports on LGBT+ news, but if it's refusing to report on trans-related issues, it means it's getting pressure to not do so, say, from advertisers or activists. Misrepresentation of current events starts with lying by omission. It means I can't rely on PN as a primary news source, though when they report, I may use them to confirm what other, more reliable sources tell me.
