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.
That is what I do because I have less than 2k subscribers across all my communities, but I need to say something in the sidebar related to how I verify an article and how to determine what’s a lie, which is where fact-checks come in.
Defending colonization, war crimes and genocide are fuzzy lines to draw. Sometimes news is spun by omitting facts, so an article that seems harmless can be subliminally pro-isreal when given context.
The point is, it’s very hard to verify sources on that level for as big a community as World.
Everybody knows a source like timesofisrael deny genocide yet it is allowed but an source like an arabiya is not. It is pure hypocrisy
I never said I agreed with their methods. According to the fact checking link in their sidebar your souce isn’t trustworthy. Again, I don’t support it, but I do understand why they use mediabias to check sources.
I fully support making more, smaller news communities to get a greater diversity of media on lemmy, and encourage you to either post to them or make your own.
He has. Apologia Free News.
Fantastic, then.
I have to admit to doing a doubletake every time timesofisrael comes up. “That cannot be legit, right?”
https://www.allsides.com/news-source/times-israel-media-bias
“After a discussion including other team members, AllSides reviewers did not find The Times of Israel to exhibit strong bias in favor of Israel in its news coverage of Israel’s war with Hamas. The publication did refer to Hamas members as “terrorists” and some of their statements or media as “propaganda,” however did not appear to frame things in a way that is overly favorable to the Israeli establishment or Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu either.”
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/times-of-israel/
“Overall, we rate the Times of Israel as Left-Center biased based on editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them as Mostly Factual rather than High due to one-sided pro-Israel reporting regarding Palestine. (D. Van Zandt 12/5/2016) Updated (12/13/2024)”
Again who gave any of those sites authority. Why you can’t use your own brain to determine what it look like biased or not with actual proofs regarding a specific article. Yes a source that deny facts like the genocide in gaza is not legit
This too has been litigated to death, for years now, and JL knows it. Doesn’t matter.
More people give them authority than have given YOU authority. 😉
They are the go-to sites on media reliability, just because you don’t personally agree doesn’t make it so.
I would think of the multiple mods and admins with the capability, a script would be easy enough to write and implement. If there was integrity and will.
We had it, people hated it, so we removed it.
Because it was Mbfc.
Some integrity would be appreciated.
We looked at other options which were a) automated and b) free to implement. For one reason or another it didn’t work out.
But there’s nothing wrong with MBFC outside the minds of a few radicals on Lemmy.
Name those people. Your sources doesn’t have any evidence of biases towards lebanon
Ground News for one, as previously noted:
https://ground.news/interest/iran-news-wire
"The Ground News media bias check for Iran News Wire is unknown. Scores are assigned by aggregating bias scores from Ad Fontes Media, Media Bias/Fact Check, and AllSides.
Is Iran News Wire credible or reliable? Our Factuality score answers both of those questions. When it comes to Iran News Wire, we’ve assigned a Unknown factuality rating. Ratings are assigned by aggregating scores from Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check."
What a stupid dogmatic person you are
No. He knows fully well what he’s doing. Dogmatic, yes.
It’s not dogma when I show you to be wrong over and over and over again.
I gave you repeated chances to use better sources, you not only refused, you doubled down in PMs.
Good riddance, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
