I think you misunderstood me, when I said free I meant that they licensed under creative commons and I am sorry for not clarifying that.
I don't like to follow news from news sources that do not license their content freely.
They're licensing their content freely because it's a government mouthpiece. Of course they want you to use it.
You are, again, trusting a source run by a congressionally-funded "independent" group that broadcasts propaganda to Cuba. And your reasoning is because it's published under a CC license?
If Stormfront published articles under a CC license, would you use them? Because otherwise, that seems like terrible reasoning.
Just because you think it's a propaganda, does not mean it's.
As shown in the sources, they are very reliable.
One data point on COVID does not make it not propaganda. As far as propaganda, Media Bias Fact Check goes to bat for Israel and calls any source that criticizes it biased.
I showed you sources that prove that they are very reliable and very factual by third parties, where is your sources that show that it's unreliable?
You mean apart from it being run by the same organization that broadcasts American propaganda to Cuba?
You are arguing in bad faith, I asked you for your sources but you prefer to waste time going in circles.
Happy to continue discussing this with you when you come back with your sources, otherwise I am just arguing with your feelings instead of discussing the facts.
I literally gave you a source that showed that is the organization that broadcasts American propaganda to Cuba.
You have given me no reason to trust it on anything but COVID reporting. Unless you think, like MBFC, that criticism of Israel makes you biased.
