Looks like a case where poorly sourced article getting removed, with invitation to repost with a more reputable source... so do so with a better source. Or is the underlying article itself leaning too much towards propaganda that there is no more reputable source? and if that is the case, then is it really !news worthy?

Nah, it won't happen because that user is infamous for posting disinformation on this site. He pretends to be a liberal doing this for the benefit of the Lemmiverse, however that logic works out.

You can tell from the post title. There's a collection of little propagandists that do nothing other than post disinformation, immediately lash out at any slightly differing opinions, and then go whining in other communities if any mod takes any action about it.

And to be honest, I'm not a fan of sources reporting on themselves. Even if I considered this a reputable source (I have no opinion on it either way), I would want a third-party article.

I can't help but notice that Five singles out "lack of transparency" while ignoring "poor sourcing" and "one-sided reporting". This is a common tactic.

Any responsible journalistic entity should be confirming their sources, and giving any accused a chance to give their own side of a story.

A poorly sourced article from @jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world ?? No way, I'm shocked!

Looks more like you posted a garbage source?

edit - for example. Do you consider Fox News to report a balanced view? Or GBNews? Zerohedge?

"Siding with Marc Zuckerberg" is a pretty shitty argument. They may be evil but that doesn't mean I oppose every single of their opinion.

I know MBFC is a controversial tool, but there must be some kind of moderation, otherwise you end up like !worldnews@lemmy.ml

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Oh !worldnews@lemmy.ml does have moderation. The mods there are very deliberate in the things they do(n't) allow. Woe betide you if you ever criticize certain historic (or current) authoritarian genocidal regimes.
