F. Stone. He was among the few Western reporters to gain access to the Abu Ghraib prison when Saddam Hussein was in power and his story on the emptying of that prison won a 2003 Golden Reel Award from The National Federation of Community Broadcasters.

(Source: - https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-intercept/ )Overall, we rate The Intercept progressive Left Biased based on story selection that routinely favors the left. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to previous fabricated work and censorship of writers.
”The New York Times has grave, grave mischaracterizations, sins of omission, reliance on people who have no forensic or criminology credentials to be asserting that there was a systematic rape campaign put in place here,” says Scahill, who criticizes the newspaper for not issuing any corrections for their flawed reporting...
Overall, we rate Democracy Now Left biased based on story selection that consistently favors the left and High for factual reporting due to a clean fact check record.
Thank you, however I remember you also stated that evidence you gave to a different poster was from "one of the world's most respected newspapers", which seems to be correct. Well, I've also used a well-trusted source, hence the fact-check links. Thus, I can't really dismiss Scahill, due to the lack of criticism I've come across in my own (again, admittedly short) online search for him.We went through this several pages ago. There is far better evidence of rape committed by Hamas on 10/7 than there ever was for rape committed by Donald Trump, Bret Kavanagh, Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky, etc. Read the links I provided to see the rhetorical tricks Scahill relies on for his denialism. His interview on Democracy Now is just him repeating himself. The entire concept that "maybe the Assadist bootlickers at Grayzone, plus Electronic Slave Auction err uhh I mean Intifada, are not good sources in general, let alone for this in particular" gets no hearing at all. He's not going to bring up that his sources are insane and neither are the hosts. So I mention it here, for you to notice and think about in a way that Mediafactcheck.org won't do for you.

Sorry for not understanding your initial point. As for the intercept, although some scandals have occurred, there haven't been any regarding the matter at hand (at least not to my knowledge).I was pointing out that "one of the world's most respected newspapers" actually doesn't deserve respect because of how badly they botched their story. And if the New York Times can screw up that badly, you can rest assured that so can The Intercept, a website founded a whole ten years ago.
All Irish soldiers are "safe and well" after a rocket struck their UN peacekeeping base in Lebanon on Thursday morning, the Taoiseach (Irish PM) Simon Harris has said.
Hundreds of Irish peacekeepers are headquartered at a base known as Camp Shamrock in southern Lebanon, about 7 km (4 miles) from the border with Israel.
The Irish Defence Forces say all personnel have been accounted for and all are uninjured after the rocket, thought to match Hezbollah equipment.
The Chief of Staff for the Irish Defence Forces, Lt Gen Sean Clancy, confirmed that the rocket fell inside the camp.
He said it caused "minimal, minimal damage" on the ground of an "unoccupied area".
Speaking in Athlone, Lt Gen Clancy said the device which struck Camp Shamrock on Wednesday was a "Katyusha rocket".
"This was by an armed element, obviously. It was - our assessment - travelling from north to south into Israel," he said.
"A lot of these are undirected, unguided and therefore unpredictable rockets."
Netanyahu has fired Yoav Gallant as defense minister. He had already fired Gallant last year during the judicial overhaul affair, which prompted immense national protests and a general strike unprecedented in Israeli history and forced Netanyahu to back down. This time it appears to be for keeps. Gallant had repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over military strategy, particularly on the latter's demand for "total victory" and maintaining permanent control over the Philadelphi Corridor, saying those goals would undermine potential hostage negotiations. Early word is that protests have started forming again, like they didn't have enough to worry about over there.
Gallant is replaced by former foreign minister Israel Katz, a longtime Netanyahu loyalist who opposes a two-state solution and got in some trouble over the summer for seeming to endorse relocating Palestinians from the West Bank, then denying he had said it.
I can't believe the level of ruinous, criminal stupidity they have running the place. All of their recent problems could have been avoided. Easily. Trivially.
At least 30 people have been killed in an Israeli strike on a house in Jabalia, northern Gaza, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa and Gaza's Hamas-run civil defence agency.
The civil defence said the dead included 13 children.
And at least 23 people, including seven children, have been killed in Almat near Byblos, to the north of the capital Beirut, the Lebanese health ministry said.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck a site in Jabalia where "terrorists were operating" and steps had been taken to mitigate civilian harm and the details were under review.
The IDF has not commented on the strike in Lebanon.
The only named Gazan based source for the claims in the BBC article was a Dr Fadel Naim, director of the Al-Ahly hospital...
His timeline is full of open support for the October 7 atrocities:
This is an image from his daughter’s wedding. The top table at the event included not just Fadel Naim, the BBC ‘witness’ – but also Ismail Haniyeh – the (then) leader of Hamas in Gaza:
And here are the two of them together at the same event:
If that's true, then it's unfortunate. However, it's rather hard to report on the Gaza situation reliably due to Israel effectively "soft-blocking" journalists' access to the area:^The BBC's article for the Jabalia death count is entirely sourced from one of the Al-Ahli hospital hoaxers.
BBC News promote yet another Hamas 'doctor'
The BBC journalists are not even bothering to make the most basic of checks - before they promote Hamas propaganda to a global audience.david-collier.com

BBC didn't check to see if their source was reliable, or they don't care.
