    Media Bias / Fact Check bot declares itself as unreliable
  • A 2018 year-in-review and prospective on fact-checking from the Poynter Institute (which develops PolitiFact[27]) noted a proliferation of credibility score projects, including Media/Bias Fact Check, writing that "While these projects are, in theory, a good addition to the efforts combating misinformation, they have the potential to misfire," and stating that "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."[6] Also in 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as "an armchair media analysis"[28] and characterized their assessments as "subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in".[29] A study published in Scientific Reports wrote: "While [Media Bias/Fact Check's] credibility is sometimes questioned, it has been regarded as accurate enough to be used as ground-truth for e.g. media bias classifiers, fake news studies, and automatic fact-checking systems."[19]

  • They're saying the parts mbfc uses other data from is fine, like the fact checking matching others as they all use the same source. But the rest like bias can't be trusted as it's just their own unscientific methods.

    Israeli parliament approves bill to ban UN Palestinian refugee agency
  • They could just do it because of the attacks Israel is doing against UN personnel and institution/agencies if they want to wait for it to legally be ruled a genocide.

    Or because they keep openly being against any diplomatic efforts.

  • Notice you also didn't say anything about those LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and women living in the Red States who Harris/DNC say just need to obey the states laws. That's their entire plan to help out minorities in the USA.

    I just want the fucking game I kickstarted but have given up on ever having it delivered. Of course to you that just means i'm a generic "hater".

  • Technically, you're correct despite the down votes, Hamas was the government and the HM was part of the government.

    Because they're a known hasbarist and the hamas association is only used to make it seem false.
