in fact, I've never come across this ‘Middle East Eye’ and when I go to find out more about them, it's surprisingly sparse on information? https://www.middleeasteye.net/about-middle-east-eye https://www.middleeasteye.net/about-middle-east-eye
As I was once taught, many many years ago - of any article, always ask: “Why are these bastards lying to us?”
- atemerev 7y agoYes, I would take this information with a few grains of salt. A strange source.
- toby- 7y agoAccording to Wikipedia[1] it's an online news outlet that covers the ME. It's been accused of a pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias, and Saudi Arabia (amongst others) allege that it's controlled by Qatar with links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

- thinkingemote 7y agoI also looked on Wikipedia before submitting this and it didn't scream fake news site. There was also a fair few articles submitted here from that site before. As for the sources, reading between the lines and based on some experience it feels like it is based on presentations by the marketing companies at an emergency planning conference. So not exactly secret but not for public eyes.
