Oof, that's a very opinionated website complaining vigorously that
they're neutral and accurate. Check out their coverage on Wales and
Maher:

They for example say:

> Maher moved on to a job at London’s HSBC bank – which would go on to pay a

> for drug traffickers and Saudi financiers of international jihadism. Her work

Really? How is it relevant that the company that she worked for paid
money-laundering fines, unless she was involved? I can see why they're
not considered a reliable source. Also, he keeps saying that they
haven't been forced to retract anything. That just means they don't do
retractions, not that everything they print is correct.

Thanks for sharing this!
