Nope, not going to take that seriously.

And the last source's photos appear to be of the same cow from several different angles. One cow is not a "mass grave".

There are more.

More of what?

Yeah, this is basically a compendium of unreliable sources. If I see some mainstream sources covering this, I'll be much more inclined to believe you, OP.

1) You added those additional sources after my post.
2) I'm a skeptic by nature. Until I see reliable sources covering this I'm not going to take it at face value. There is not thread ownership here, you can't just demand that this thread be an echo chamber for people who agree with you.

Are these good enough? Can you actually contribute instead of calling BS about some websites?

Left-wingers tend to point out biases on sources when somebody of the right-wing variety posts it, but when a right-winger points out the biases in their articles, you always get the same response.

"But everything has a bias."

There is a difference between bias and outright lying.

And even assuming that this happened, I fail to see what is so bad about this.

I'm a left wing centrist. I like to know when my articles are biased. It's fun pointing out biased news people perceive as legit.

The Review Journal is fine. It's a reliable source.

According to the Review Journal, the BLM stated that it killed two bulls. Two bulls is not a "mass grave".
