Context:

The article in question was well sourced, factually accurate, and written by a well-renowned author and journalist whose work appears elsewhere too, regardless of which outlet published it.

Nonetheless, Jordan Lund is once again blindly trusting a pro-zionist conservative outlet masquerading as a bias and fact checker that nothing from anywhere that criticizes the fascist apartheid regime can be reliable 🤦

      For !world@lemmy.world if you look at the rule, it’s that opinion based articles “MAY” be removed, they aren’t just automatically removed because they’re opinion.

      As a rule, I don’t have a beef with opinion articles as long as they are informative and fact based. If they go off the rails into “Well, Ukraine shouldn’t have antagonized Russia!” or some such, I’ll remove it for misinfornation, not because it’s opinion.

      Avoiding non-newsworthy content might be a part of intention behind the rule but whether that makes sense depends on how you want to run a community. I try to make an effort to not assume ill intent (not always successful) and this just looks like a mod is using external list not to be critiqued for arbitrary choices and that only works if no exceptions are made.
