    I’ve seen this site a lot now on here, and it just looks like another low tier British tabloid that pumps out misleading ragebait content for clicks. From what I saw it’s like the left wing version of the Daily Mail. Why is the information hygiene on Lemmy so poor? Why can’t the community have higher standards on better sources?

      The article is factually correct and links to another, more popular source. What is misleading about it?

      Biased, yes. So what? If you are still neutral in the face of Israeli crimes, you are complicit.

      They was abducted. Just because you don’t like the source, it doesn’t mean it is a lie.

      Oh shit, did they make false claims in this article?

      Or do you just object to their biased reporting? Because then we can exclude everything from AP news (“Israel ‘’‘’‘‘tests’’‘’‘’’ ceasefire”) to fox news.

        What a shit take. You’re information hygiene has to be completely cooked to defend tabloids like this. This is an objectively poor source that’s basically just the Daily Mail 2.0 that pumps out clickbait.

        This article is reporting on the same thing, but it is so much better:

        https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8pz5nm6r8o

        Supporting shitty tabloids doesn’t become okay just because they pump out headlines you agree with, the point is the quality.

          the point is the quality

          Information hygiene

          links to a BBC article reporting on Israel

          Is it a lack of self-awareness? Denial? Or just DARVO? It’s an extraordinary act of mental gymnastics in any case. Some people have really taken the plunge into this “post-truth” thing.

          What you seem to call “information hygiene” most others call “bias in favor of Israel”. Do you earnestly use the term “sterile street” too?
