Edit: Even MBFC rates dropsitenews as a reliable source https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/drop-site-news-bias-and-credibility/
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
There is no rule about ‘blog sites’ on worldnews. Jordanlund has made this up and proceeds to classify anything he does not like as a 'blog '.
I haven’t found one, and like I say, when people bitch at me and I go “But how are they wrong?” I get either silence or the typical teenage angst answer of “They just ARE! GOSH!”
What? No you haven’t. I’m not the only one who has been sending very detailed explanations, but I’ve sent you some specific objections in this comment thread. I keep raising them and you keep changing the subject.
For one thing, they count Newsweek as not questionable when it’s trash. For another, the New York Post. It sounds like your strategy is to use MBFC, and then override them when their judgement is obviously (cartoonishly) wrong, like it is for the Post. I would say that means they’re not reliable to use. But, you still rely on them for some things. Like Newsweek.
Glancing now at Wikipedia’s list, I see some other sources which are commonly posted on .world which they regard as unreliable since an ownership change or other slippage of standards. Raw Story is on that list for example.
It kind of sounds like you’re not interested in hearing this. Okay. If you’re planning on persistently pretending that this is teenage angst, I’ll go do something else.
No you won’t, because you can’t help but respond. You seem to have this insatiable desire to have the last word, which I will make no effort at pretending I don’t like triggering.
Sounds like I got under someone’s skin lol
Next step is usually going back through my comment history downvoting a bunch of my stuff. Be my guest!
I did that because I’m enjoying this, and we had a little bet to see if you would snag the bait. You’re not even close to being witty enough to get under my skin.
Correct, like I say, if they’re questionable, it’s removed, full stop. But for other certain sources, it’s left up to the mod.
This is also clearly stated in the sidebar:
“Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.”
Note the key word “may”. Not will be, may be removed. I think people miss that a lot. I get reports all the time with the reason being “Opinion Article” and I’m like… So?
Opinion articles can be fine or they can be objectively wrong, I’m not going to remove it just because it’s opinion.
Now, if the “opinion” is “Russia is doing nothing wrong, Ukraine doesn’t exist, Zelensky’s a Nazi…” Yeah, that shits getting removed with a quickness because it’s propaganda, not because it’s opinion.
Like I said, it sounds like you’re just not interested in hearing this. Okay.
