I'll be editing this thread much later, but to make a very rough draft and tl;dr:

Visit Mediabiascheck, and post the name of your News or Source into its Search Function.

If entered correctly, the MBFC page for your News will appear, showing you its rankings on Bias and Factual Reporting:

Only posts within Left-Right Bias are allowed; aim for Least Biased.

Only posts that are High or Very High in Factual Reporting are allowed.

Still not sure? Try these!

  • BBC News

  • The New York Times

  • Reuters

  • Associated Press (AP)

  • National Public Radio (NPR)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/21419291

With the full support of the Biden administration, Israel is waging a merciless war of extermination against the 400,000 Palestinians remaining in the northern Gaza Strip as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a plan to annex the territory.

No food, water, or medicine have entered the north since October 1 as Israeli forces have conducted a campaign of intense airstrikes and ground forces have invaded and encircled much of the area.

As it orders residents to flee the north, Israel has intensified its attacks on Deir Al-Balah, a city in central Gaza that has not suffered the vast scale of destruction unleashed by Israel in other parts of the Strip.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled to the city in recent months. In the early morning hours of Monday, Israel bombed a crowded tent encampment for displaced people on the grounds of Al Aqsa hospital, engulfing civilians in a massive ring of fire.

Video from the scene showed patients—some of whom appeared to be in beds attached to IV cords—being burned alive as others in the encampment tried desperately to extinguish the fires with small buckets of water.
