Bothsidesing is the worst thing you can do as a news site.
Bothsiding ? Oh we’re turning it into a verb now are we? OK. Cool.
I have to disagree with that. Not pretending to world is simple and presenting a balanced view of a story is a mature aged responsible thing to do as a news site. Obviously people will disagree but to hide information or distort it is not news. It’s dirty propaganda.
We need less of these kinds of site that amplify hate towards others and pretend the world is simpler than it is. No wonder we’re so fucked and divided as a country. The exact same thing Farage is doing to right wingers, sites like these are doing to left wingers.
I have easy answers for you. Oh and by the way everyone that disagrees with me is some form of evil.
FFS.

Jumping in here, they’re fond of distorting the facts to make better outrage bait. They still take every opportunity to claim Palestine Action were targeting planes that were refuelling Israeli jets, the problem with that being the British refuelling system is incompatible with the one Israel uses.

As far as I can see they never said that. They just quoted Palestine Action saying that.

And the later article www.thecanary.co/…/doha-raf-refuelling-plane/ said that about F35 which can be refueled by Airbus KC3 Voyager.

Israeli F35s can’t be refuelled by British tankers. They use a completely different system. If the Canary had fact-checked, they’d have realised the British tankers circling Doha were highly unlikely to be party to the Israeli attack on Qatar, as they were in fact participating in a joint exercise with… erm, Qatar.
It’s a pity, because they cover some stuff others don’t.
