IS it a far-left news site?

edit

There are a lot of sources cited for that statement, but they all seem to be backing up the fact that it's pro-Assad, pro-Russia, et cetera, rather than backing up whether Mint Press News is leftist.

I realize that the far left has adopted an anti-Israel position over the past two decades. However, I would argue that the far right (as opposed to the mainstream right) has been anti-Israel for much longer. And the other positions listed -- supporting Assad, Russia, Iran, and MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria. It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and reports geopolitical events from an spreading pro-Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories -- are all ones I associate with the far right.

I'm very much aware that the far left has been targeted with Russian propaganda over the past year in particular. But I'd like to see an argument for its adoption of the other positions here if we're calling this site far left. Is this generally accepted now? Oakling (talk) 02:04, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
