The content is what disuades people. It’s toned down as of late but used to be on par with Debka for reliability and accuracy.
Well, I never saw a problem with the content since I've been reading it from about 2000 on. It's been a good source of information since the time I've been reading it and I'm sure it was long before I was reading it. And I can't see that it's changed one bit in the meantime.
As far as DEBKAfile, it's also been a good source for information, too. I noticed that the very same people who were decrying Farah were also decrying DEBKAfile, which looked mighty suspicious to me. But, I never paid any attention to them. Apparently they didn't like DEBKAfile's Israeli focus on the news and intelligence and they didn't like the fact that they had their sources in the intelligence branch over there. For those people decrying DEBKAfile, it was just like those decrying Farah, they did not like the focus of their articles (which on the one hand for Farah, was a decidedly Christian focus, and on the other hand for DEBKAfile, was a decidedly Israeli focus).
So, too bad for them. The rest of us kept right on reading them...
