    Except for the final paragraph, it is very non-political, and easily verifiable to be true.

    I want to be clear that I do not condone or support using these types of sources, since it funds non-democratic governments, but simply dismissing all of their stories as “fake news” without any further critical thinking or fact checking is not correct.

      So it is untrustworthy. Shure the “fact” of this “news” is true, but thats nither newsworthy nor is it up to journalism standards. It should never be used as source.

      I don’t call the news itself fake entirely, i say the news outlet is just not usable as source and should be avoided entirely because they will stage shit to influence people.
