4. Right of Center-- with a tendency to publish some questionable commentary/opinion pieces as "fact"

that does not make the publication itself untrustworthy, but the reputation and credibility of all their commentary (as with all publications) need to be evaluated independently.

That which you posted has no basis in fact. It was based on nothing more than assertions-- but it and others like it have been promoted by RW propagandists presumed to bolster the Trump-Vance anti-Haitian immigrant memes.

It's the largest U.S. weekly Jewish magazine. I guess I suffer from bias, because it's all over Los Angeles. LauraInLA Sep 2024 #7

I guess I didn't see that, given that the article was about a Republican businessman taking advantage of immigrants. LauraInLA Sep 2024 #8
