In general, it’s useful to understand the bias of the news sources you read. But bias is not the same thing as credibility.

Since this is not a service you provide to all articles you read, this is a pretty ghoulish comment in this context.

I was not trying to be ghoulish. Fog of war is a very real thing, and a great deal of misinformation about the situation is being passed around. Video footage of paragliders is being passed off as combat footage of Hamas airdropping into Israel. Older footage of a mosque in Syria being blown up is being republished as footage of Israeli forces acting in the Gaza strip. For pete’s sake, footage from the Arma 3 is being passed off as realtime citizen journalism.

In other words, I did some digging on the news site linked to, found that there is a very high probability that it is not a fake news site (with the incredible shenanagains involving professional fake news sites in the last couple of years I’m not willing to say “is not,” only “high probability it is not”), and posted the most informative link backing up the news source.

Thanks for adding more context. Ghoulish accusation retracted.
