    Why the downvote? I’m saying this is a good source. Some of you guys just downvote cause of my name.

      I can’t speak for the rest, but personally I’m downvoting BECAUSE you’re saying that Times of Israel is a good source.

      It’s an extremely pro-Netanyahu and anti-Palestinian rag with no credibility with regards to anything to do with Palestinians.

      That MBFC rates it highly is probably because MBFC itself is mostly the hobby of one right wing person with huge pro-Israel bias himself. Sure, some of the ratings are by volunteers or paid freelancers (with no real transparency as to who did what), but it’s mostly just a dude named Dave pretending to be an authority on credibility and bias.

        That the source is credible. Gee, I wonder why? Why do you care?

          MBFC is made by one Zionist dude it’s not relevant to any credibility.

            I tried looking this up and could not find a source to support this claim, do you have one you could share?

              It’s owned by a dude called Dave van Zandt and there’s been plenty of posts on here showcasing their hypocrisy. The fact that “Times of israel” holds a rating above “low credibility” while consistently posting IDF propaganda and using heavily biased language is enough evidence.

              Go dig through my comment history if you want to find more examples.

            Tell that to the mods of this community who suggest we use it. Just because it marks your pet site low you’re gonna attack. That is par for the course.

              Okay, I’ll make my own site for “factual” checks and say the articles I don’t like are fake.

              See the problem here? They literally rated an article as “not trustworthy” and as a justification it said “we never found posting not factual information, but they are Palestinian and that lowers the score”. Fuck this system.
