That's covered under "Consider the source."

The source having ties to a non-democratic government does not automatically invalidate the source, but it should make you scrutinize it more sceptically in relation to the other criteria.

  1. In what way is it not covered, according to you?

  2. If the news story is, e.g., non-political, does not try to influence your opinion on something, and is based on first-party facts that can be independently verified and that are correctly represented, the source does not matter for the factuality of the news story, even if it is from a non-democratic source.

Example:

Except for the final paragraph, it is very non-political, and easily verifiable to be true.

I want to be clear that I do not condone or support using these types of sources, since it funds non-democratic governments, but simply dismissing all of their stories as "fake news" without any further critical thinking or fact checking is not correct.

Damn right, you'd miss the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster drink before the dinner. Not ok.

Can confirm that SAAB cars are great! Mine is coming up on 19 years old, and apart from some superficial issues still works as well as when it rolled out of the shop. SAAB was also very innovative with their cars, taking a lot of inspiration from their jets, which is clearly seen in their design.

It's quite interesting, when they read the output they found that the scroll said "As an AI language model, I cannot..."

The old civilisations truly were ahead of their times.

I spent way too long trying to figure out why the guy and the ice cream shop were flying, and how he would move horizontally in he air...
