Al Jazeera denies rumor that hostage was held at employee’s home
Qatari news network Al Jazeera is stridently denying any link to Gaza-based journalist Abdallah Aljamal, amid unverified rumors that hostage Noa Argamani had been held at his home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat.
According to various rumors, some of which have been picked up by Hebrew-language media with varying levels of credulity, Argamani was held at the home of Dr. Ahmed Aljamal and his son Abdallah. They also claim that Abdallah is an employee of Al-Jazeera.

8 17 ReplyPerfect example of how suspect MBFC is.
Times of Israel has such immense bias in favor of the IDF and the fascist apartheid regime, and such lax fact checking on the one subject people outside Israel read it for that it's not AT ALL credible and MBFC, being basically the hobby of a conservative Zionist, rates it left of center and highly factual 🤦
Eta examples from the "detailed report":
minimally loaded language such as this: US envoy suggests world should rethink PA aid after Israeli teen killed by bomb.
Failed Fact Checks
None in the Last 5 years
Both examples of absolutely atrocious levels of bias on the part of MBFC.

For the made up rating mbfc makes then puts no reasoning in their actual post.
MBFC tries to make itself credible then does shit like that where makes it fit what they want. like ranking higher pro Zionist publications

3 11 ReplyThe bias is strong in the case of TOI. This is extreme bordering on !nottheonion@lemmy.world territory.
And still MBFC rates them center right rather than far right and the factuality "mixed" rather than "low" or "very low".
