[Meta] How does mods remove posts based on sources?

My post got removed despite it being from a reliable source (Ukrayinska Pravda- Media Bias/ Fact check.)
I am not looking to participate in a community where mods remove posts based on their feelings about the source, there needs to be a proof to the mod claim.
Why did my post got removed in this case?
How is the source unreliable, what is the mod proof for that?
As a reminder, !globalnews@lemmy.zip can be an alternative
What C/ was it on?
Can't see it in the mod log because the post was removed.

Edit: blaze hooked me up with the C/ it was on.
I have no clue what they were thinking. It's a fact based article, with easily verifiable facts. It shouldn't matter where it comes from, based on the C/ rules as listed. As you said, the source itself is reliable enough to not be a legit basis for removal in that regard.
Assuming it wasn't a mistake (and mods can just screw up rather than having removed something intentionally, like clicking on the wrong thing), that's some power tripping for sure.
That was a good faith, legit post.
Thanks!
Posted here because og will almost certainly be removed for 'not being an article'
