Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It’s cool how some zionist piece of shit downvotes people who take his side. But pieces of shit exist, so oh well.
Every member of hamas and hezbollah is a piece of shit. So there’s that.
Okay, but what does that have to do with a journalist being arrested for investigating them?
So you're saying he isn't a supporter of those organisations?
So you're saying investigating Israel makes him a terrorist?
This is his "investigating" https://youtu.be/N51xmP-EwSU
Terrorist slop content of IDF soldiers being shot because "oh it's so impressive".
Really great stuff to get terrorist dicks hard.
Hope this guy's rots in a cell haha.
That was a really boring and poorly made video. Could you tell me what part of it makes you sure this man is a terrorist? I might have missed it.
Literally never said he was. I said he makes content for terrorists to jerk off to. I bet he cheers when he watches beheading videos. He's a disgusting freak and should be locked up.
Well then let's just hope nobody ever decides you're a disgusting freak and deserve to be locked up.
For what, not liking terrorist supporters? I think I'm safe. The only people that think that's disgusting are shrill slacktivists and the terminally online.
No, for anything really.
This is you, running away from the topic of terrorist dickriding to anything else.
I don't think you understand. If this guy gets locked up just because you think he's a disgusting freak, then you can be locked up as soon as anyone thinks you're a disgusting freak. Good luck with that.
Maybe I need to explain this, maybe you needed to hear it from me, from anyone, because it's not obvious to you and somehow managed to become the cornerstone of your dumb as fuck argument: I am not locking Richard Medhurst up, and nothing I say about him influences the outcome of his legal situation.
"Anyone" is gonna arrest, charge, prosecute, convict, judge, and jail me? Stop lil bro, you are butchering this argument. Leave it for people who have at least a 3rd grade understanding of how laws work.
Awww, that's sweet. You're trying to humiliate me. It isn't working.
Anyway, what is your argument? It very much seems like you're saying this guy should be locked up because you find him disgusting. If there's more to it than that, then maybe you should explain what you mean.
Yes it's a pity you seem immune to shame. Very Trump-like. My argument is spelled out clear as day. Meanwhile we have no idea why you carry water for a terrorist simp like Richard Medhurst. Find an adult to read it to you if you are having trouble. You don't seem to understand simple cause and effect so it's not a stretch to imagine your reading comprehension suffers as well.
So your argument is just that this guy should go to jail because you dislike him, then.
Why is every accusation an admission with you people?
Once again, not even close to my argument. Why is every accusation a smokescreen for even worse shit and weak strawmen with you people?
Once again, then: state your argument so I can evaluate it. Otherwise it's just the original "he needs to go to prison because I don't like him" along with a big dash of, "you're such a stupid poo face poo poo head".
You still thinking I have the power to put him in prison is hilarious. It's called an opinion lil bro.
This is just too good to leave alone. You have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, obviously, but the really funny part is that you also have absolutely no idea what you yourself are taking about. You actually aren't capable of writing down your point of view, which is fascinating because it could be for so many reasons.
You've been running scared of your position the entire thread, chasing after some inconsequential slippery slope argument you can't even argue for without sounding brain damaged. What was it you said, every accusation is a confession?
Why don't you just come out and say it, you LOVE terrorists, hate Jews, want to rape civilians, and murder everyone that disagrees with you. It's very clear seeing as you refuse to address it.
Yes.
I'll address your ridiculous claims though, since you asked. I don't love terrorists. It's a moronic proposition anyway based on the subjectivity of the word. I don't hate Jews, and it's very weird you brought that up since neither of us have mentioned Jews up until this point. Are you getting confused with another thread maybe? I don't want to rape anyone, and again, this is the first mention of any type of sexual assault in our discussion so it's very hard to be sure where you're getting this from. I don't want to murder anyone at all, whether they disagree with me or not. The only violent speech in this discussion has come from you.
So - it's another bunch of accusations which have come completely unfounded and out of nowhere. My first guess would be that they are projection of your own mental state, but feel free to correct me if you like.
Yes. I have about as much reason to believe you are a supporter of those organisations.
Hey, we're all terrorists! I like dogs, Hitler liked dogs, and I don't want to give my pin to the police, that makes me a criminal, right?
Well if you can find the videos glorifying terrorist kills I have on my YouTube channel I guess that's true. Here's his https://youtu.be/N51xmP-EwSU
Yea I wasn't 100% sure, I just remembered thinking this guy was an insane person. Glad I looked up his channel, glad he's been arrested, hope they stop him making videos for terrorists and antisemites to jerk off to.
Especially the children and babies.
Hi zionist.
