So I posted an article from al Arabiya about Christian villages denying that they asked Netanyahu to annex their villages on World News@lemmy.world.

Jordanlund removed it simply because he don’t like the source. Yet he has no problem with articles from Saudi backed Iranian media https://irannewswire.org/ that also celebrate the terrorist group the MEK that sell out their country to side with Saddam and has no problem with israeli sources that deny the obvious genocide.

    Since when your shitty fact check has authority on what is a questionable source and which is not? Maybe you should use your own judgment or maybe you don’t do it because you are bad at it. Why should a source like Irannewswire be trusted and not questionable when they are defending the MEK terrorists who fought along Saddam in the iraq/iran war?

      When Iran News Wire actually has data showing they are untrustworthy I will have no problem removing them too.

      Right now, the aggregate from across the three arbiters of truth when it comes to bias and credibility, AdFontes, MediaBias Fact Check, and AllSides is that they are a cipher.

      That is not a removable offense.

        The fucking BBC is untrustworthy based on everything we’ve seen them publish about pissrahell and the war on Iran yet it is considered credible? Get a grip

            fuck the state of Israel, and anyone who attempts to normalise its atrocities, and suppress the gruesome reality of the situation in favor of state-backed narratives and polite fictions. that is the predictable end result of your policies, especially when pissrael has gone to great lengths to kill every last credentialed palestinian journalist it can get its hands on. its pretty difficult for murdered journalists to publish enough articles to compete with the combined state media apparatus of israel and the us billionaire class, but what can you do? your hands are tied, I guess. standards, right?

            and anyway, this notion that establishment papers are still bastions of journalistic integrity is wishful thinking at best. how can we trust what comes out of the bought-and-paid-for subservient mouthpieces of the billionaires class? that whole model is fundamentally broken, in the same way the 2-party system is broken. its a rigged game, built to support those in power, not to challenge them. good journalism speaks truth to power. how much of that are we seeing from the mainstream rags?

              They are still better sources than random blogs, twitter links, and youtube channels with no provenance or editorial standards.

              Israeli atrocities ARE being reported, and have been for decades. You know what? The vast majority of the public simply is not aware, or if they are aware, they do not care.

              I thought the Rachel Corrie killing back in 2003 was going to move the needle.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Corrie

              Blonde, American, young woman… Israel bulldozed her to death while she was engaging in peaceful protest.

              The public? Silence.

        A media that never criticized israel and the usa involvement in the war. Couldn’t even write a full article condemning the bombing of the school during the war and also include the MEK a terrorist group as a resistance group is trustworthy? A media denying genocide like timeofisrael is trustworthy ?

        Your biases are very clear. There is no such a think as arbiters of truth either.
