That's helpful information, they both look like they've got good pedigrees. I'm a bit surprised that none of the normal fact and bias checker sites have anything for Drop Site.

I don't quite understand the down votes here: Israel is a topic with lots of strong opinions, and basic good media literacy is to do research on sources you don't recognize. There's been a lot of shoddy journalism to get clicks out there, and one should be critical of the information they ingest. The Ground News bot is a good thing.

They started this spin off of the intercept project relatively recently so that’s probably why.

Not sure on the down votes but my guess is that you mentioned the media bias sites and people would rather you come to your own conclusions based on the sources history kinda like you ended up doing by looking up the creators instead of relying on those sites.

I personally stopped interacting with the .worlds world news community after they forced the clearly biased mb/fc bot on everyone despite a lot of complaints.
