Would it be alright if I create a "channel4news" community? (feddit.uk)

I quite like channel's 4 coverage over certain topics, it feels sometimes more impartial and more nuanced than BBC News.

They are quite left-leaning, which is great news for me, but I fear others might raise some eyebrows and feel the need to open more right-leaning communities (e.g. "gbnews" "channel5news" etc.) which might then heavily politicize/polarize this somewhat tame server, and also start making it overall more news-oriented, which is always a bad sign.

Yay or nay?

For context this is what I wanted to post on feddit.uk but couldn't find a suitable comm:

This exists and I see no rules against politics or news there. Might be better to contribute to an existing comm than make a new one from scratch that is incredibly niche, and as you say would open up the idea of mouthpieces for propagandists

I like the idea of this, but it just feels misaligned content-wise: I'm seeing mostly links about TV shows but not the videos themselves, and it's a wide range of topics. It's not a comm I'm subscribed to myself mostly because I think it's too general in scope
