    Why wouldn’t you believe it? That only proves they have bias, not that they’re lying. At worst it’s no better than US, Russian, or Chinese state media. Which many happily accept. If there’s a problem with the message counter the message, not the messenger.

      Im saying they are driven by western interest and not actual human rights watch issues.

      Human rights apply to white people only and political issues that the west doesn’t agree on, this is what they have turned the UN to. Their credibility isn’t there.

        I don’t disagree that they are pointing out things for their own agenda. But just because someone has an agenda and points something out doesn’t make it false. The fact that they haven’t pointed out nor ever made claims about groups XY and z. Doesn’t mean they lack credibility. They generally been correct when pointing out abuses of the groups they have pointed out. You’re still attacking the messenger and cannot disprove the message.
