Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
I suggest adding an EditCheck that checks if a cite web/cite news/etc source utilizes one of the domains which is present in wiki's unreliable sources list (it could be configured in edit check configuration).
Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
This would be very useful for ruwiki for sieving out Russian propaganda media or other unreliable sources.

[UPDATE: I misunderstood -- Ignore this comment! See the Wellverywell's reply.]
@Wellverywell If I understand correctly (please confirm!) the goal of this feature-request, is to enable re-using an existing domain-list that is stored elsewhere on Wikimedia, instead of having to manually duplicate it (and update it with changes-over-time) within TextMatch. I.e.
Please confirm/clarify.
Not really -- I think we are completely fine with duplicating such a domain list (and I'm not even sure we have one in machine-readable format to begin with), but we need a check that checks the references, not text (the current TextMatch check just matches strings like "according to <unreliable source>", which isn't really as much helpful).
Probably related to T345118? Though this task I think proposes a much simpler version of it, only checking the already-present references and storing the unreliable sources list just in Editcheck-configuration.json.
