News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Way to show your Racist ass, you can disagree with someone even hate them for what they're doing or plan to do but fuck you for making it about his race
I understand feeling frustrated about Kash Patel's actions, but this kind of ethnic stereotyping isn't the way to express it. The "Patels should stick to corner stores" comment reinforces harmful stereotypes about an entire community of people.
People with the surname Patel are doctors, engineers, artists, teachers—contributing to society in countless ways. When we reduce any group to a stereotype, even in casual comments, we lose sight of their humanity and individuality.
We can criticize someone's actions without bringing their ethnicity into it. I'm sure you didn't mean harm, but these small moments are where we can all help build a more thoughtful community.
Except Nazis. They deserve every bit of the suffering caused by it.
Being a Nazi is a choice.
I dunno. Do we start off being regular human, or do we make a choice along the way to accept that other humans are worth basic respect until proven otherwise.
Did they choose to be had, or just not choose to be normal?
That's a "nature vs. nurture" question. Generally, I think racism is a learned behavior. Personally, even as a child growing up in a mostly white area, I didn't even notice that some of the other kids were black until years later when I looked back on it.
Also we hate nazis as individuals, because being a nazi requires being a fascist piece of shit. Calling them horrible isn't a stereotype, because we are not generalizing, just acknowledging.
True. My main point there was "losing" their humanity. Can't lose what they don't have.
