    Then Hosam was not a journalist but a terrorist. Because he writes for a news organisation which publishes their articles using Substack.

    Thank you for censoring a journalist who died to get the word out, using made up rules. You must be very proud of yourself.

      It’s not about censoring anyone, it’s removing invalid sources. If they get re-hosted through a legitimate news site like Al Jazeera, fantastic. Go for it.

      But we aren’t going to allow the community to be filled with bullshit blog sources.

        Dropsitenews, a site ran by two top ex-journalists from TheIntercept, is a “blog site” because it is published on SubStack?

        This is clearly gatekeeping so only mainstream media sources are allowed and no independent journalists.

        You do not get to decide what is and what is not journalism. You are refusing to provide factual errors in the reporting and instead go for a cheap cop-out.

          Yes, as I stated previously, we aren’t engaging in “buh buh you allowed that OTHER link, why not miiiiiine?” Blog sites aren’t allowed, full stop.

            You are already banning certain websites and not allowing others at the discretion of a rating system operated by a Zionist. MBFC is rated by Wikipedia as unreliable source. Yet this does not seem to bother your “factuality”.

            There are not a thousand independent journalists and news outlets popping up on Substack and people keep posting different ones. There only a handful actual journalists on there not writing opinion articles but doing real reporting.
