Media bias / fact check for Mint Press News:

Overall, we rate Mint Press Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the publication of conspiracy theories, pseudoscience anti-Israel propaganda, poor sourcing, failed fact checks, and false claims.

You got a better source for this, OP?

Seymour Hersh is an award-winning journalist who's well-known for uncovering rampant government corruption. His record includes coverage of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, Saudi support for al-Qaeda leading up to 9/11, and the so-called "weapons of mass destruction" and "nuclear materials" used to justify the invasion of Iraq.

That ain't a source. That's an appeal to authority fallacy.
