      Yeah cool story nice fanfic they wrote there. Let’s use MBFC for funsies but instead of their bad rating system, use the factual part:

      Launched on October 19, 2022, Semafor is a news website that hosts 8 newsletters. The website was co-founded by Ben Smith, a media columnist at The New York Times, and Justin Smith, a Bloomberg Media CEO

      It’s constantly the same circle of propaganda “newspapers”. One makes an outrageous claim without evidence claiming they have “anonymous sources” and then the other ones post articles referring to it as evidence.

      In this case it’s from the 40 beheaded babies and "Iraq has WMD’s guys, of course not citing a single one personally because this is a “scoop” without evidence:

      “The IRGC has stationed missile and drone trainers and operators in Yemen, as well as personnel providing tactical intelligence support to the Houthis, U.S. and Middle East officials told Semafor.”

      U.S. and Middle East officials < Which ones? What officials? Military? Rumors going around? Some dude in an Embassy that smokes too much? Evidence?
