    I post this not because I support this headline, on the contrary this is abhorrent and morally bankrupt. Instead I’d like to draw your attention to a disturbing trend I’ve noticed recently of posting ‘mediabiasfactcheck’ to build a standing around a certain paper.

    Mediafactcheckbias is not a valid way of establishing credibility nor does it adequately portray the level of bias.

    See here:

    VS

    How can one take the fact check seriously when this should invalidate any legitimacy the WSJ has? They are not only biased but are purposely questioning the death toll of Gaza since it comes from Hamas medical officials, which has been independently verified for decades. They are intentionally conflating the militant group with the ministry of Gaza in an attempt to dismiss the scale of this atrocity.

    Please stop posting media bias fact check and please stop taking them seriously.
