Ukrainian forces staged an overnight ambush on a Russian convoy 25 miles inside the international border in Russia’s Kursk province, as the Kremlin declared a federal emergency and said it was transferring extra forces to try to snuff out a four-day incursion that has badly damaged its credibility.
A video circulated by Russian military bloggers showed a destroyed convoy, with bodies just visible inside some trucks, on the E38 east-west highway at Oktyabrskoe, a location far deeper inside Russia than any previously confirmed fighting since Ukraine’s forces crossed the border on Tuesday.
Commentators said the attack, reminiscent of Ukrainian attacks on Russian troops besieging Kyiv in the first weeks of the war, demonstrated an effective hit-and-run strategy, but the incursion appeared likely to draw an escalating response from the Kremlin, and its overall outcome remains profoundly uncertain.
The guardian - credibility medium 🤦♂️
Fox news gets the same credibility rating of “mixed” as the guardian, which should tell you all that you need to know about the credibility of the mbfc site.
Edit for context: fox news commitment to factuality, is so bad that they knowingly air news that they themselves know to be false: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trump/673132/ Rampant misinformation, sitting on news until they can release at a more opportune time, selective reporting, airing heavily edited footage to make their guy look less like an idiot, … These are all things that fox news does, but I’m hard pressed to find any examples of the guardian doing any of these. And yet still somehow, the mbfc site wants us to believe that the guardian is as untrustworthy as fox news. Somehow I’m not buying it.
Also note that apparently the AP wire is a leftist rag.
wtf. What is it with this bot
If I had to guess the mods are getting a payment for pass through clicks or have some weird sense of superiority from feeling like they only read centrist publications that they have decided to push on everyone else.
But I’m going with the first cause they have given no reason not to think that.
I blocked it. It makes Lemmy life better. I use Jerboa and blocking is easy and it works well.
That’s good for you, but I worry how newcomers might see lemmy
It would help if they’d stop failing fact checks by using unreliable sources. If you click the MBFC link and then scroll down to the “failed fact checks” section you’ll find several references (including sourcing) to this.
Yeah you can find all of their FIVE failed fact checks in the last 5 years, most of them consisting in simply reporting on what other seemingly believable sources such as other news outlets or NGOs had said. The outrage ! It’s basically British Fox News /s
Click through and read the full report on those fact check fails. I get that you like The Guardian but ignoring their factual fails just means your are blinding yourself.
I did, that’s how I could summarize what they’re actually about. Now if you think those failings should add up to the same factual reporting rating than Fox News…
This bot is a disservice, moderator should take it down.
