Yeah, they're so untrustworthy because MBFC says so ..
Okay? Neither of those articles are untrustworthy or wrong...
Almost like Israel is a genocidal apartheid state and most coverage of them should be negative, that's not bias. It just shows MBFCs bias...
Almost like Israel is a genocidal apartheid state and most coverage of them and "establishment Democrats" and "conservative" who defend/support them will be "biased" against them, unless you agree with said genocidal apartheid...
On to
Let's see how "false" this is and how ruined their credibility should be because of it...
So it was millions of people gathering in a defiant tone against the Islamic state...it's just false because "some news outlets" reported it as such so there was no "media blackout"...
No single source or site is perfect. MBFC is just as biased and shouldn't be used to dismiss an entire source of information because they say they are biased.
NOTE: This is less a defense of mintpres news (they do get a little crazy) and more a statement against the use of MBFC and similar as a crutch.
This part did sound pretty concerning
