Le site ibtimes.com est-il sûr ?

The site is extremely aggressive with advertising pop-overs and video playback which slows the page performance drastically. It also uses trackers. The news carried within has been rated as high on the work put into researching the story and middle-of-the-road on political bias according to mediabiasfactcheck. Snopes has used it for fact checking.. It uses few emotionally loaded words in word analysis. They have a staff of reporters and are not just aggregates of other news organizations reports. It has 10 national editions (10 different web portals) printed in 7 languages. Their portals receive over 40 million unique visitors per month. Left leaning, Mother Jones and Media Matters for America have criticized various labor and editorial practices prior to 2015. With the hiring of John Crowley (ex-WSJ editor chief) in 2016, IBTimes has been cited by Bloomberg, the BBC and others as source material. Use uBlock Origin or other product if worried bout the tracking and popups Making money off of a web portal has trade-offs. Personally, they seem to have improved a great deal under new management and I'll use them as a source now but the huge pop-over adverts are freaking annoying as is the automatic replay of videos no matter how many times you close it!. uBlock Origin needed customization to deter this behavior.

This IB 'news' site is very biased. It follows its own idea of politically correct language in support of people or ideas it promotes. When it 'reports' on a news event, it slants the report toward its own agenda. I am not sure who is in control of this site, but it is basically propaganda. It is an example of what is being called 'post-truth.' For example, someone who sneaks into a country illegally is not an illegal immigrant. They could be a refugee, a terrorist, a drug smuggler, or a fugitive. Showing poor children in an American school is supposed to raise sympathy for the millions of people who are in the United States illegally.

Multiple active cookies. Auto play video/audio with moving mute, when muted, it simply finished that video and begins the next with the audio un-muted again but the mute button is moved causing an unintended opening of the advertised website... Click count fraud for those who are advertising - if you are paying of your ad on a per click basis, I just clicked on 3 ads accidentally while trying to mute yet ANOTHER video in the same box that I had previously muted. Very annoying.

High amount of 3ed-party HTTP requests (advertising / user tracking related) not to mention excessive disk-write from all the cookies, well after the "page loads" I came to read 1 article which it's title had little to do with the article content, a bit biased IMO.
