I mean it is a Lebanese paper but it's also notoriously biased towards Iran (and therefore Hezbollah) and Syria, and Hezbollah is suspected to be their source of funding. They're just not the most likely to impartially report on Hezbollah's activities in the same way people don't unconditionally trust Al-Jazeera's reporting on Qatar. Also the title is oozing bias for something that's not an opinion peace.
Do you have evidence of Al Mayadeen lying or falsely reporting something?
They are biased in the sense that they amplify resistance voices where mainstream media crushes those voices. But I have never seen them falsify reports.
Apparently they failed three fact checks on mediabiasfactcheck.com, so you can check that. Also even if they don't falsely report they can omit information or put a spin on things (for example in this case there could be other targets in this round of bombings that don't sound as good and were left out). In these cases it's better as a rule to compare the reporting with that of other sources.
Apparently that doesn't matter.
Good on you for looking at facts that support you objectively.
