Interestingly enough I was assured by someone a couple days ago that Jerusalem Post was all pro-Israel propaganda, and I therefore couldn’t trust a word out of its mouth. Apparently that person was grossly mistaken.
I mean, everybody does. Most things you read are going to be “only one side of the story” in one sense or another. I’ve just observed that a lot of Lemmy people jump very easily to “that source is biased I can reject everything in it completely” even when that source is publishing things like this that clearly do not have the bias they’re claiming.

They’re not all pro-Israel propaganda, but they definitely have a significant pro-Israeli bent and need to be fact-checked.

If they publish something you don’t like it’s always easier to attack the source than the article.
