While I agree, i’m Not familiar with even remotely neutral sources in Arabic; on one side you have a Hamas/Fatah “Iraqi information minister”’style reporting, and on the other side you have the Israeli reporting in Arabic. Facebook, despite being more closely aligned with Israel, and having the history of a Skinner box operator, is still more likely to bring news vetted by their friends with some commentary.
Very sadly, it might actually be their best source of news.
This is astounding to me given the likelihood of Facebook's unspoken allegiances and their history with respect to censorship.
