It pops up all the time, it's a waste of time and I'm sure it has been used countless of times to discard some piece of information. It doesn't add up anything productive to the comments, people who comment don't even say anything they actually think they just "did you know that MBFC says this so it has to be truth?" I could go on but I think you get the idea.

UN Watch utilizes credible sources such as the New York Times, Reuters, and usun.state.gov; however, they also utilize factually Questionable sources such as Cnsnews and the Daily Wire. Story selection mostly favors Israel and holds the same positions as the former right-wing government of Israel.

Wild how it gets to avoid being classified as propaganda by mbfc.

Same reason I'm sure as why radio free Asia isn't either
