    "all I am saying is Bellingcat is mostly factual I don’t want to assign a moral judgement by saying it is good, I trust everyone on this Lemmy to be an informed consumer when it comes to investigative journalism."

    NYT is also "Mostly factual" but they also love every war the US want's to start.

    "The Bellingcat “research collective” is a web site established in July 2014 by Eliot Higgins. Originally from Leicester in the UK, Higgins is, as of February, a senior fellow in the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab and Future Europe Initiative."

    "Higgins is one of five authors of an Atlantic Council report released earlier this year, “Distract, Deceive, Destroy,” on Russia's role in Syria. The report concludes by calling for US missile strikes in Syria. "

    The guy's on the fucking Atlantic Council a non governmental organisation staffed by unelected weapons manufacturers and propagandist, a 100% pro NATO organisation that sets foreign policy across most of Europe, and just loves endless war.

        His connections to the security state are clearly far from over. Stopping one job at the Atlantic Council and starting a new NGO that parrots NATO / US talking point does not make that a "former tie" he still very clearly a propagandist working on behalf of the US / NATO imperial alliance

        Here he is promoting ISIS propagandist on twitter:
