AltMedia
This community is a mirror of the AltMedia subreddit at https://old.reddit.com/r/AltMedia.
Until January 2nd, 2025 the 'WorldNews` subreddit, with 40 million users automatically subscribed, had an 'Israel at War' livethread constantly at the top.
This community was founded to dissent from this forced perspective, and present the Palestinian and anti-establishment position in general.
This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

Mint Press News is Russian propaganda FYI.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MintPress_News
Not to say there is anything wrong with this story specifically but in general they are better avoided.
complete nonsense. The Wikipedia article faults Mintpress because it "opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective." That should tell you all you need to know.
Why do you think it is “faulting” Mint Press for those things? It sounds like it is just reporting them.
The issue is more this:
Reposting content from RT and Sputnik is not sufficient evidence that some outlet is a Russian disinfo op. That would be like declaring that someone is a British propagandist after they repost the BBC. Neither is a vague connection to PeaceData.
You present "New Knowledge" as if they are some kind of credible authority on disinformation, but they themselves spread the completely discredited conspiracy theory that Russian interference led to the 2016 election of Donald Trump. Their director of research Renée DiResta is a CIA fellow. They are funded by Reid Hoffman, who is a big contributor to the DNC. So they are clearly not an objective, neutral judge of credibility. They are connected to the DNC and the US regime and have proven the willingness to lie to further those interests.
Regarding Crimea - look, anti-NATO publications are going to defend Russia. NATO is aligned with Israel, which is conducting a live-streamed genocide. Russia supports Iran and the Shia branch of the resistance (and so did Assad). This resistance is completely justified, given the genocide. Opposition to NATO is thus not confined to Russian disinfo operations.
Even the meme of "Russian disformation" is one that is spread almost exclusively by agents of the US/NATO deep state at this point. It itself is disinformation. Please stop spreading disinformation on this instance.
You keep telling me things that aren't my complete argument, and saying "That alone doesn't prove anything!"
keke
Hey Bob, did this guy just say, "So these people posted RT and Sputnik, that doesn't mean anything, obviously" and "These people posted this discredited thing, and so therefore I've discredited them, obviously" in the same message?
That he did, Bob. That he did. Also the thing he said was discredited, was not.
In your world where someone has to ally with one and exactly one horrifying global state-sponsored-terrorism-source. In my world, it is easily possible to oppose all sponsors of death and destruction the world over, without picking one that I have to be "on the team of." I would say that my stance is actually the more human and sensible one, but you do you! If you want to pick a favorite, and deep-throat their boot and their boot alone, you are welcome to, although I will probably make fun of you for it.
Obviously.
I'm trying bro! But you aren't on board with my stopping of disinformation on this instance. I wonder why.
'keke' is not an argument.
