Oh interesting to see a Palestinian voice on that side of the...wait, what site is this? Why does the FP sound familiar...

And what is this article...

Coleman Hughes on some inconvenient reporting that suggests Derek Chauvin is not a murderer, but a scapegoat.

Ahhhhhh ok.

I'm not familiar with Coleman Hughes, but he's not the one who wrote this article. The writing of the article is attributed to Ala Mohammed Mushtaha, the son of imam Mohammed Mushtaha.

Also, here's another website referencing the same article.

Good ole daily wire lol.

Not discounting the article so much as the sites running it. Granted there is always a bias, just some sites I personally see and just kinda of bypass.

It's fine that you prefer some website over another, but if the claims are true, it doesn't matter who is making the report.

Totally! I read the article and then found the comment section and started rabbit-holing.

My point here was more along the lines that these sites specifically tend to adjust reporting more than normal. The "George Floyd" suggested article was the bit that really threw me until I recognized it.

While the article's claims may be true, the positioning of the article's could also adjust it for their purposes. Which, again, any news media will do. Just these guys are infamous for purposely stretching definitions of sources and articles.

That's a big IF. Based on other articles on those same sites I think massive skepticism is warranted.

Opinions are like assholes and all that...
