While I agree it is a bit of an unfortunate name the news site does appear to be a pretty reliable source. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/electronic-intifada/
Ignore them, they're a feddit de user.
Basically fascism
I used to think it was just a few bad apples but literally every time I do an antifascism one of them shows up to harass me in the comments. Instance blocking can't come fast enough.
Oh that's cool, I ran across the same website while making a comment to another user here.
I'm not super sure how reliable they should be considered to be honest. Looking at Mediabiadfactcheck.com they state that they are mostly factual in reporting but points to their lack of transparency on funding and strongly loaded emotional wording that may be misleading.
Based on the rest of the review it seems that they are really good about being very specific in their statements to avoid inaccuracies. Looking through this article and a few of their other articles they mostly focus on local accounts (X person said this, they live in Gaza) or third party references (Y on Twitter said this based on an article by Z at the BBC).
Another representation of this style of reporting would be this example:
Headline: "The Election Was Stolen!"
Body: New information has come out about an investigation into the legitimacy of the 2020 election. SOUTHERN boy on Twitter shows a video of FBI officials going into the election offices to perform an investigation. SOUTHERN boy also recently posted a potential connection between the investigation and the Trump 2020 election, but it hasn't been picked up by the mainstream media.
We also spoke to Melissa Simpson in Mississippi and she says she and all her neighbors believe the election was stolen.
Since 2020 Trump has been telling everyone that, "The Election Was Stolen!" Does SOUTHERN boys information show the proof to Trump's claim?
End example
Technically nothing I posted is false, I'm not making any claims myself, but anyone reading this would know the subtext to my article.
