Germany, your move!
Hasn’t this been known since before Hamas attacked in October?
I was reading about this being a hang-up for SA during the Abraham accord signings and the years following.
MBFC is an absolute joke.
They state that it’s neutral and factual but rate it as mixed purely because they don’t provide a link.
In review, they publish national stories with neutral headlines such as “Journalist Gauri Lankesh shot dead outside home.” Further, their articles are well-sourced through quotes, but they rarely provide links to those sources, which does not allow the reader to check the source’s credibility. For the USA, their news coverage mostly leans left, such as: “Trump’s tougher H1B rules take toll, disheartened wife commits suicide.”
Failed Fact Checks: None in the Last 5 years
Overall, we rate the Deccan Herald Left-Center biased and MIXED for factual reporting due to a lack of linking to sources.
The site should be renamed BMFC
Wow, that’s a pretty embarrassing rating. I’d love to see them follow through with the same for mainstream corporate media. They’re commonly reporting on something going on on the web without linking to the actual thing (which might pull eyes off their site) and it’s rare they’ll link to things like official vote counts when reporting on congressional votes. Linking to source material should be the norm online, but until they’re willing to hold that standard to the big boys, it’s kind of BS to cite it here.
For the USA, their news coverage mostly leans left, such as: “Trump’s tougher H1B rules take toll, disheartened wife commits suicide.”
This is also kind of a clown show. They very well may be left leaning, but they’re obviously covering tougher H1B rules negatively because it’s an Indian paper and that negatively affects a lot of Indians. This particular headline demonstrates nothing on the left/right axis.
Would it surprise you to know the site is just the work of one guy, it’s largely just his personal opinion on things with some volunteer input.
Is that true?
