Reply to comment by jeffinRTP in Israeli Elbit Systems Reveals New Drone to Be Used in Occupied West Bank by aa-coding

That’s nice. Here’s what I care about.

> These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

So you care more about political bias over factual accuracy. Gotcha.

I care about sources of information which aren’t simply propaganda outlets which “publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information…”

You should too.

How could it be missleading if factual? It's much easier to disregard the political leaning knowing that what is reported is factually correct.

A factual search reveals they have not failed a fact check.

The only facts in the entire piece are that this drone exists, and who makes it. The rest of the page is just speculation, quoting another paper, and emotive language. As a piece regarding a bit of technology any discussion of that tech is notably absent.

So how could it mislead? Well how do right wingers in the US mislead without lying? Talk about HRT for example, offer a single ‘fact’ about what it is, then spend the rest of the time conjuring visions of horror about how it might be abused.
