I think it’s worthwhile to question an unknown outlet. If it’s a tabloid level rag then perhaps I should doubt the pilling on, if any of the smear worthy stuff might be fabricated.
No matter the outlet, if the material is accurate, then yes it’s reasonable. However we always have to be wary of folks outright making up stuff.
I’m not claiming it to be true or false, just saying I understand why someone might sincerely ask for folks to share anything they might know about the outlet in general.
However, the stance of “well, you better have a lot of evidence to be skeptical of a random unkown outlet” seems to be setting oneself up to be a sucker to anyone from any side.
I think the issue is that the question doesn’t appear to have been asked earnestly. Preemptively answering your own question with “sounds like activism” communicates you have already formed an opinion. If you’re asking out of genuine interest, check your preconceived notions at the door and only ask the question. Just “what is this 1819 site? Are they known to be a reputable source and do they demonstrate bias?” Is a good way to ask it.
Because it would make you feel better? Or because anybody who disagrees with you automatically faces a higher standard to prove their values than anybody who agrees with you?

You posted the same article multiple times in this thread. I don’t know that magazine but Wikipedia says about the source
Aren’t there more trustworthy articles than a far right news site?
Yeah, it’s a right wing propaganda rag. I wouldn’t trust them reporting the weather without somehow blaming liberals and lgbtq.

article doesn’t say anything about child porn. I’m thinking it’s a bullshit conservative “news” site muddying the waters.

The Left:
The right:
How convenient that everybody who disagrees with you is a lying cartoon.
Here’s somebody who disagrees with me, promoting ethnic cleansing.
Have fun no-true-scottsmanning them

TIL one thread you don’t like constitutes “The Left”.
If they are not your ally, go tell them that
Because it would make you feel better? Or because anybody who disagrees with you automatically faces a higher standard to prove their values than anybody who agrees with you?
Your talking point shifted from pretending leftists didn’t do this, to endorsing the leftist who did this.
If you read that as an endorsement then I’m done trying to talk to you, have fun conversing with your imagination.
Stfu with your dumbass propaganda.
I found a Leftist promoting ethnic cleansing right here.
