It's not about verifying every claim. It's about trusted sources, as you correctly noticed. The question is: is HAMAS a trusted source for NYT? Because, it looks very much like that.
No worries at all. In hindsight I should have found a more respected journalist. HN users are picky about article sources haha. Good luck with your reports.
Provide a real source. WSJ has no credibility.
That doesn't look like a news source I would trust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MintPress_News
Can anyone comment on the credibility of this news outlet or the supposed source here?
There's unfortunately a large subset of HNers that find rags like DailyMail, New York Post, and ZeroHedge reputable. Makes it really important to check the source before engaging.
Do you have a trustworthy news source that doesn’t do this?
Source? That doesn't sound very journalistic to me.
Please can we not have the daily mail as a source. It is not trustworthy or authoritative
Who is this news source? Is there a more reliable, possibly more neutral source of the same story?
