Ban the MBFC bot - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
This bot is spreading misinformation. This bot is spreading rightwing propaganda. This bot is spamming every post. This bot is consistently downvoted. This bot degrades the user experience. Please ban it.

People hate shitty bot, lw admin triples down and is threatening to make it against lw terms of service to down vote it.

Taking bets on how long until it's a confirmed violation to be against the bot?

Guess it may already be in the news comm https://lemm.ee/post/41044575

        The Chinese govt sharing x website’s articles because they support their POV is proof of BIAS and PROPAGANDA LAUNDERING. The American govt.’s “news source” that is expressly propaganda for US hegemony is HIGHLY FACTUAL (we know because they said so) and only SLIGHTLY LEANS TO THE LEFT.

      Overall, we rate Mondoweiss as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates.

        “For example, the article [‘Nazi genocide against Jewish population’] is emotionally loaded and one-sided against the [German] government due to its use of highly charged language and its singular focus on alleged atrocities committed by [the Nazis] without providing context or perspectives from the [German] side.” So on and so forth.

        Wondrous!

        Erm HRW (not a biased Western NGO) made a report (deconstructed by Norman Finkelstein) that weakly suggests this POV. No we will not include any evidence that suggests Israel is responsible, such as them bombing the cancer ward of that same hospital days earlier, an IOF spokesman cheering on the bombing as attacking Hamas, Israel misrepresenting Al Jazeera footage and their own as well, faking phone calls and video, etc. It’s clear from scale alone and the pattern of bombing hospitals that Israel was responsible, and this is where fence-sitting becomes absurd.

          Yeah but it's using that founder's methodology so it's good now.

          Guess what lw doesn't allow as a news source...

        This is true, but I don’t like that it’s ranking my sources low because it’s doing it dishonestly.
