I wouldn't say special, I just mentioned a fairly credible fact-checking website, but I might be wrong as others sites can review the news outlet, or have already.
Also: here, here and here are MB/FC's reviews on those outlets you mentioned, updated this March
Strongly suggest you consider doing your own critical thinking on every issue and news source rather than relying on another website to tell you how to think about a media source. These fact verifying sites and news bias identifiers are only good for reinforcing internet arguments with ad hominem fallacy and wasting peoples time. There are good and bad stories in a pro imperial NYT and anti imperial Grayzone. Please read the article, think critically about it, then form an opinion.
There are some proponents I am seeing pushing MBFC and Snopes hard here on Lemmy now, with this weird influx of Western neoliberal biased news articles shared. Very sus.
It's entirely possible Lemmy is being seen as a potential anti-establishment platform and having one or two trolls assigned to the platform is worth the hours. Soferman says he works in communications could mean he sidegigs for a Pro-US troll farm.
Well I would not go on that far, but he is in a certain echo chamber and I can tell what it is, from experience. It is a very similar story to my Indian liberal/libertarian family.
You might be right. I watched The Dissident recently and it made me realize how many countries pay people to just comment things on the internet to try to away public opinion though. Why this guy is posting pro imperial news articles on a site that is anti imperial is really
weird. He's an evangelical out of the goodness of his heart? One or two maybe but he spams the site every day with anti-russian and anti-chinese articles. Who does that and why?
I am seriously curious. My Spidey senses have become really good over time at pointing out this stuff. And he is definitely smarter than regular chaps at what he is doing.
