"National File an extreme right Tin-Foil Hat Conspiracy website based on the promotion of unproven/debunked claims."

Nice try at discrediting anything or anyone who throws stones at the vile people you support. A classic leftist/globalist/RINO move. As an ordained UMC minister you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting the sickeningly corrupt Youcrayne. Ugh.

Speaking of unreliable sources, why is the known draft dodging grifter and Youke jingoist Denys Davydov the backbone of your endless propaganda blasts?

--- "Unreliable sources...."

As often documented by such as YouTube itself, as well as the Kyiv Post, Davydov is in a "safe" European country, which tracks back to Switzerland. For this, his AdSense funded videos are not first-hand reportage, but "content creation" as YouTube defines it.

This thread featured a comment saying that National post is "unreliable," based on an un-sourced bit of info. Fact checks, don't you know?

Since comment # 45 purports to document "bias and credibility," standards not applied to Swiss-based Davydov, one finds the original source of the "bias and credibility" statement. It is:

Media Bias Fact Check. Why it was not credited with the "bias and credibility" statement, given that the thread operator references sources for much else is interesting. After all, who "fact checks" a "fact checker."

Source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-file/

One reads, "Dave Van Zandt is the founder and primary editor for sources. He is assisted by a collective of volunteers and paid contractors who provide research for many sources listed on these pages. Finally, MBFC also provides occasional fact-checks and original articles on media bias and publishes daily curated fact-checks from around the world."

Source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/about/

"Media Bias Fact Check, LLC is a Limited Liability Company owned solely by Dave Van Zandt. He also makes all final editing and publishing decisions."

Some additional insight from Van Zandt may instruct about "bias and credibility" claims.

" In order to prevent bias, MBFC relies 100% on consensus science."

"Regarding Climate Change, the consensus is it is occurring and influenced by humans… until the consensus tilts otherwise, we have no choice but to draw our line and be factual."

"I hate to beat a dead horse, but we support the consensus of science on Covid-19 as well."

Wiki says -- "Media Bias/Fact Check is widely used in studies of mainstream media, social media, and disinformation."

Another view on "unbiased" Media Bias/Fact Check rates the web site as "Lean Left." The entire chart is most interesting.

Another "skeptic" views them as "Media Bias/Fact Check has a rating of 2.21 stars from 14 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Media Bias/Fact Check ranks 457th among Blog sites."

Without straying too far into the weeds, one finds the original comment was about something related to Ukraine and human trafficking.

This should not be ignored, by straying into those "bias and credibility" reliance on "authority," as if a fact check LLC owned and operated by a single individual is "authority," given other "authorities" find it "Lean Left."

As to Ukraine -- complicit in human trafficking as are Russia, the EU and sadly some in our own United States -- one reads:

"The [ Ukraine ] government has not published labor and criminal law enforcement information regarding its efforts to address child labor. In addition, Ukrainian laws do not meet international standards for the prohibition of commercialized sexual exploitation because they do not criminalize the users of prostitution involving children." In "Child Labor and Forced Labor Reports - Ukraine"

Source: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/reports/child-labor/ukraine

"Ukraine has been a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking since the early 1990s. Men, women, and children are trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and begging and sexual and other forms of exploitation. The main countries of destination for trafficked Ukrainians have been the Russian Federation, Poland, and Turkey, as well as internal human trafficking within Ukraine. The problem has been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Note that for my comments, unlike comment #42, I cite the sources, and specficially the two last sources are from US government entities.

Some find Media Bias Fact Check, LLC, leans left. Ergo "bias and credibility" are an issue even for this North Carolina LLC. An LLC which also supports "consensus science," a non-sequitur so popular today. Personally, I do not ascribe to their "consensus," a word so often cited by the climate guy, Al Gore, and his UN "zero carbon" folks.

So as to "bias and credibility" issues, it seems that all have their own bias and credibility, Swiss-based Davydov is among them"

"Davydov can't wait to see the Ukrainian peninsula liberated from Russia. He recently left Ukraine for the sake of his wife and daughter for an undisclosed safe country in Europe. He continues his popular videos without the background noise of sirens and hopes to resume his old day job in the near future."

In "A Top-10 of Pro-Ukraine YouTube Warriors to Guide You Through 2023," Kyiv Post, January 2, 2023.

Source: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/6341

"Another popular channel is Denys Davydov. He is a former airline pilot based in Kyiv, Ukraine, who lost his job in Ukraine once the war started. Now he focuses solely on the Ukraine war and has over 464,000 subscribers to his channel. Davydov is routinely posting 600K to 800K views per video that he posts now. That could be bringing in $1800 to $2,400 or more per video at a $3.00 RPM (revenue per mille) rate. His monthly YouTube earnings could be over $63,000. Even if it is half of that rate this YouTube star is making serious bank."

In "YouTube Channels on the Ukraine War Are Making Bank," Newsbreak.com, 22 October 2022.

Source: https://original.newsbreak.com/@mark-hake-1587739/2795821285140-youtube-channels-on-the-ukraine-war-are-making-bank

Meanwhile, the human trafficking in Ukraine, Russia, the EU and even through some in our own United States continues. Without reference to assertions of "bias and credibility" human trafficking should be prosecuted with prejudice and force. Period.

In the Ukraine, as in Russia, the EU, our own United States and anywhere else in the world. Or, one can promote YouTube videos uploaded from Switzerland and the United States because, being 'so close to the front lines,' they have no problems with "bias and credibility" < S A R C >

My suspicion? Corrupt money in all things, and justified because.....

The Ukraine Draft Dodger living large in Switzerland.
The Ukraine Gay Actor\President of Ukraine will probably
join the Draft Dodger in Switzerland, if Ukraine people
don’t string him up first.
