    Not on the MBFC, but digging into it… I found a good chart on Iranian media from reddit of all places.

    iranintl.com shows as being right of center and anti-Regime.

    Here’s where we start having a problem:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_International

    “The channel is funded by firm with ties to Prince Mohammed bin Salman[4] and has been charged of being an arm of Saudi Arabia.[5][6] It has received media attention for its reporting on Iranian human rights violations, political developments, LGBTQ+ rights and other topics sensitive to the regime in Iran.[7][8]”

    On the one hand, it seems like they have solid reporting, on the other hand, funded by notable murderer MBS, who specifically killed this guy:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Khashoggi

    I’m removing this based on the ties to MBS alone. I have no beef with the editorial stance, it’s just that murderers are icky.

      Looks like it doesn’t show up if the site is too obscure to be listed. I reported it to the mods
