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.

I've said it before and some of you really don't want to hear this, but AP has soft-pedaled trump since day 1 and now they're reaping their reward. Perhaps they should have told the truth instead of choosing the barest descriptors to indicate he's a demented rapist fraud committing treason.
They've never said "lies". They've never made the obvious case that he's not competent. They've done everything every other corporate news sewer has done, which is to state the basics in as non-threatening a way as possible and hope the intellgentsia glean their implications. Which helps no one but themselves.
Journalism - such as the AP represents - has failed catastrophically. No one is happy about that. But the AP can only blame themselves. In a reasonable world, they would take this as the challenge it is and start busting trump's chops every day all day - BUT THEY WON'T. They'll lie down and wait the years it takes to pass, continuing to poop out stenography for the administration until hopefully someone else gains power and lets them back in to the food bowl.
Fuck the AP. And I say that knowing full well they're one of the better corporate news sewers. That's how far down we are. They refuse to help, they refuse to fulfill the basic journalistic brief of speaking truth to power and they do so because they're run by republiQans who want trump to be their fascist king. I hope they fold as an organization after briefly attempting porn as a last ditch attempt to stay solvent.
Well I’m glad you managed to find a way to blame the AP for being banned from the White House instead of the one who banned them.
Oh I'm not blaming them. I'm saying they deserved it.
