A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence

@Dreamer Source having high factual reports and fact checking their sources instead of just posting their agenda? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ is usually pretty good even if it’s not perfect
“Media Bias/Fact Check rarely conducts original fact checks as many other sources are faster and do a better job. We primarily rely on fact-checkers affiliated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).”
Writers at the Poynter Institute, which develops PolitiFact, have stated 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.” In 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as “an armchair media analysis” and characterized their assessments as “subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in”.

Al Jazeera isn’t even reporting on it. The article OP linked doesn’t say anything about Israel attacking anywhere in the West Bank, let alone Bethlehem.
It just says people in Bethlehem are sad that people in gaza are dying.
The OP is clearly lying to try to drum up anti Israeli support by putting a blatantly false headline and hyping nobody does any research. Disgusting.

I love the insinuation being made here. It’s like watching a real-time Holocaust denial unfold.
Just out of curiosity, what is your definition of a respectable source?
Newsmax

I’m guessing “respectable” here means “Western, pro-Isreal”
@brain_in_a_box I’m sure that CCP-funded or Russia-funded media like RT are much better sources./s

So what you’re doing?
Think you dropped this!
🤣
NYT reported on the increased raids in the Jenin refugee camp: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/24/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-war-west-bank-jenin.html
NYT is still a pretty respectable source, plus it floats more pro Israel than Al Jazeera.
This article doesn’t specifically say anything about a Christmas day raid though.
@Boff
That’s my point, also it talks about Jenin, not Bethelem like Al-Jazeera claims
@Dreamer
Counter disclaimer, AJE does great work and is only lambasted by low information racists
