When I see things like that I always like to see what kind of website this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Mayadeen

It is argumentum ad hominem. Imo, doesn't matter what site is it. If the site has a bad reputation just check sources twice but do not reject the article just because the site. That's how I see it.

article titles on its Arabic website include "The Holocaust — that great deception", "Why do the Jews rejoice at the burning of Notre Dame in Paris?", "Jews and Freemasons in the Arabs' revolutions", and "The Jews of 'Israel'" — this is why their end is certain"

They also refer to the Ukrainian government as a "Nazi regime."

Your choice, but choosing to believe that site is plainly asking to be lied to. Advising others to "check sources twice" is pretty laughable in this context. This is unintelligent and blatant propaganda.
