Middle East Eye is based in London and even the pro Israeli MBFC rates it as highly credible and mostly factual. What the heck are you on about?
The accusations against MEE come from Saudi Arabia and the UAE who don’t like people talking about their atrocities in English languaged media, especially as they try to influence the Muslim communities in Western countries like the UK with funding for Salafism and the like.
Is Media Bias Fact Check credible in their assessments? Im not sure that has ever been demonstrated to be the case and frankly I give none if those sources any credibility.
The fact is we have no idea who owns Middle East Eye and that is critical in determining what bias they do have. And for this exact reason you might see why I give MBFC zero credibility.
Do these statements seem coherent to you? They are both your statements.
Yeah this source is almost certainly a middle eastern state’s propaganda channel likely Saudi Arabia or Qatar.
The fact is we have no idea who owns Middle East Eye and that is critical in determining what bias they do have.
Also that you think that it is likely Saudi Arabia or Qatar shows that you neither now much about the politics in the region, nor do you know much about the topics covered by MEE.
It is like claiming some channel would be either propaganda from Taiwan or China, or either Russia or Ukraine…
The suspicion is based on payments people have tracked suggests one of those two nations as the likely owner of the paper. We cannot be certain who owns it. The fact that KSA and Qatar are not aligned is entirely irrelevant as to where the money came from as I never suggested it was a joint venture.
You don’t know me so you should probably not claim to understand what I do and don’t know about the region just because you are hurt that I don’t believe your source, Media Bias Fact Check, has any validity.
