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.

Sorry, if you post Nazi propaganda and Holocaust denialism, you lose all credibility as a source.

Nazis are more than welcome to try to argue that they are a decent source, but anyone with a brain is going to discount the site and stories when you see the dreck they post.
