Surely isn't so much an issue of political bias, but the fact they happily helped circulate an ad designed to provoke hatred and fear through clear falsehoods.
>> “French schoolchildren were being trained to fight for the caliphate, jihadi fighters were celebrated at the Arc de Triomphe, and the ‘Mona Lisa’ was covered in a burka” [1].

Don't say you can't imagine global warming clip where Arc de Triomphe will be a partially submerged pagoda and Mona Lisa is accessible by gondola
and "French schoolchildren were being trained to fight for the caliphate" - I bet some of them already are. Where else ISIS fighters from EU countries come from?
No.
Its usually not clear whether these ads are based on falsehoods or not. If they're targeted well enough, the intended audience won't report it either. And no, its not enough to evaluate content on the basis of "everyone knows". There are many things that "everyone knows" but are demonstrably false - for example, gun control laws are unlikely to change the number of people who die every year due to firearms. [1]
