Dorset Eye
The Dorset Eye is an alternative news media website in the United Kingdom. It was founded by Jason and Debbie Cridland in June 2012.
The website allows members of the public to register and submit articles on any subject of their choosing.[1]
It has been called antisemitic and has been accused of downplaying antisemitism in the Labour Party. It is a member of the press regulator IMPRESS.[2] Articles on the website have called Israel an "illegal state"[3] and have been critical of Rachel Riley, describing her as a "fascist" and "Israeli state terrorist sympathiser".[4] It also spread the conspiracy theory that Boris Johnson did not really have COVID-19 when he was admitted to hospital.[5]
