MintPress News was listed on the PropOrNot list as a "fake news website".

Blacklisting

On 2019, Whitney Webb described How a Small Group of Pro-Israel Activists Blacklisted MintPress on Wikipedia. The article describes, among other things, how Wikipedians referred to its unfavourable rating from Newsguard, "several months after MintPress authored a viral exposè of Newsguard’s connections to neoconservatives and former government officials, including former CIA director Michael Hayden."[1]

Epstein Affair

Full article: Epstein Affair

After Epstein's "suicide", Whitney Webb wrote an article on From “Spook Air” to the “Lolita Express”: The Genesis and Evolution of the Jeffrey Epstein-Bill Clinton Relationship.[2]

"The Watchdog"

In July 2021, Lowkey hosted "The Watchdog", the new MintPress podcast show, and was joined by journalist Whitney Webb to examine the IDF’s military intelligence Unit 8200, which gave birth to the NSO Group responsible for Pegasus spyware, and how Israel’s national security state is merging with that of the United States to target free speech and dissent.[3]

Israeli spy

Full article: Catherine Perez-Shakdam

In March 2022, Iranian media[4] revealed that suspected Israeli spy Catherine Perez-Shakdam had used MintPress to gain credibility as an "independent journalist" to infiltrate Iran.[5]
