Unsourced claims by buzzfeed. Is anybody surprised?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Well, they have a source for detention centers being overcrowded and having poor conditions in at least one case. "[Potentially] locking up a million muslims" is near-baseless speculation for a cheap clickbait headline for sure though. At least they managed to write an article without citing Zenz I guess? Not to give them too much credit or anything, just trying to get it all laid out.

Yeah but they didn't really even bother to cite anything else. Heck Zenz is a better source than no sources really.They have maybe 2 claims in the entire article that I could count that were sourced. The rest was either conjecture or a form of guesswork. Unless they actually went there. There isn't even a way to confirm or deny the satellite pictures as truth.

Generally agree with you except for this ;)
