Is WSWS a reliable source?

[RedWorker]

Is www.wsws.org (http://www.wsws.org) a reliable source? Yeah yeah, I know there's an opinion line which many here (including myself) would not agree with, but are the facts reliable? Is there manipulation?

I enjoy reading it, by the way, and not only for witnessing ridiculous Trotskyist dogma.

[STALINwasntSTALLIN]

Of course the WSWS is an unreliable and hyper partisan website. Not only do they engage in attacks on us Anti-Revisionists(1) but they also attack other Trotskyites. It attacked the International Socialist Organization(2). It attacked the American Socialist Alternative(3). It attacked Socialist Alternative, International Socialist Organization, and Solidarity all in the same article(4). They even criticized Australian Socialist Alternative(5) and then wrote an article defending it less than a month later(6). They are sectarian even by Trot standards and that is saying something.

(2)

The International Socialist Organization’s perspective in tatters

(3)

Socialist Alternative boasts of Democratic Party, union support in Minneapolis City Council election

(4)

(5)

(6)

Political witch-hunt against Socialist Alternative on Australian campuses

Sectarianism =/= unreliability. Read the question again.

I was researching the 2000 U.S. Presidential election for a project, and I found that they had incredibly good coverage of the minor parties' internal politics and campaign activities (not just the Trotskyist ones either).

About the World Socialist Web Site

The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the leadership of the world socialist movement, the Fourth International founded by Leon Trotsky in 1938.
sounds pretty biased to me, but hopefully they do better on issues not involving themselves

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

The WSWS is the pretend central organ of one Socialist Equality Party, the successor of the just as tragically misnamed Workers' League, who are best known for their extensive slander campaign against the (American) SWP and J. Hansen in particular, and suing the SWP with the intention of having the US government reinstate one of their expelled agents-provocateurs as a SWP member. There are no polite terms to describe the SEP. There are only concerned looks and that gesture when you point your finger at your temples and sort of spin it around. And given their obvious long-distance relationship with truth, I wouldn't trust their World Socialist Web Site, no.
