Al-Masdar News (sometimes abbreviated AMN) ({{lang-ar|المصدر نيوز}}) is an online newspaper founded by Leith Abou Fadel.[3] Al-Masdar means "the source" in Arabic.[4] Al-Masdar's coverage focuses largely on conflict zones in the Middle East: Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. Al-Masdar has been described as being pro-president Bashar al-Assad.

Background

Al-Masdar News (AMN) was launched in August 2014 as a media service that provides frontline news and analysis from the Middle East.[5]

Criticism

Following the April 2017 Khan Shaykhun chemical attack in the Idlib Governorate, al-Masdar News published an opinion article entitled "Jumping to conclusions; something is not adding up in Idlib chemical weapons attack".[6] A report by the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) published three days later described a "digital forensics" trail which showed how this al-Masdar opinion article was later linked by conspiracy, pro-Russian and far-right websites. It described al-Masdar News as "an unofficial government outlet" and said that it had "repeatedly attacked regime critics and witnesses to regime atrocities, notably the White Helmets."[7] Business Insider showed the conclusions in the AMN article differing markedly from those of other analysts.[8] After deputy editor Paul Antonopoulos (author of the controversial opinion article Jumping to conclusions) was shown to be active on the neo-Nazi site Stormfront, he was forced to resign from al-Masdar on 28 April 2017.[8] Al-Masdar issued a statement on behalf of its board of directors,[9] saying they found his behaviour "wholly unacceptable" and strongly condemned it, while also apologizing to its readers and all those offended by his actions.[10]

The website was described by the BBC and Newsweek as having a pro-Syrian government viewpoint,[11][12] while The Independent describes it as "sympathetic to the Syrian regime".[13] The New York Times has described it as a "pro-government website".[14] Leonid Bershidsky writing in Bloomberg News, also calls al-Masdar "somewhat pro-Assad."[15]

Business Insider reporter Natasha Bertrand has described Leith Abou Fadel, the editor of al-Masdar, as someone who had pushed a conspiracy theory in the past, and described him as an "Assad loyalist".[16]The New York Times also accused Fadel of spreading unfounded misinformation about a victim of the Petra László incident.[14]
