The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.
Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.
Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.
not to mention MBFC is itself biased.
everybody is. Every human. everything humans create, all has a bias. Worse… that might not even matter because their process has got to basically be “we do a spot check of articles to make sure they’re factually accurate and then we fit them where we thing they fall on the US political spectrum”
The reality is there’s no way to know how thorough they actually are, and for most publications- even “small” publications- it’s a bit of a joke to think five to ten articles is enough to determine reliability. other similar groups like Allsides and Ad Fontes have hundreds of employees/contractors reviewing outlets and their analysis is still remarkably circumspect.
MBFC has nine employees, including the founder. Nine.
