New rule on Aggregators/Forwarders:

jordanlund@lemmy.worldmod to World News@lemmy.world – 116 points –

We've had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.

We're now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.

In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.

So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.

Really weird it is rated "Reliable" when the New York Times wrote and reported on literal fake news weapons of mass destruction in Iraq which manufactured consent for an illegal invasion and overthrow of Iraq and killing literally MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

On what planet is the newspaper of the establishment of the New York elite, literally wall street, "Left" I don't think they support putting all the corporate board members in prison and establishing workers co-ops and replacing the neoliberal status quo with socialism.

The New York Times is a special class of paper called a "Newspaper of Record" until or unless that changes, nobody will question their reliability.

Nevermind the fact that they still haven't retracted the probably false 'Screams without Words' article literally written by a member of the IDF with little to no reporting experience.

Your language around the mbfc website makes it seem like you're involved with them.

Please don't turn it on for the Portland sub.
