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 want the executives to come out now and say "look this was an honest mistake, we're terribly sorry we let it appear that we continue to support and bend the knee to a dictator."

Then watch as all the people who cancelled Disney+ and Hulu not give a flying fuck.

The freedom of speech, is arguably the most important right we have. Without it? We have no rights. The second amendment becomes useless. The third becomes useless. There becomes no point in having the fourth. The fifth becomes unusable. The sixth becomes needless effort. The seventh is pointless, as then double jeopardy can just be said it ISNT double jeopardy because the government says so and your arguments against it are illegal speech. 8 and 9 pretty much mean you can't voice opinions that would affect those two. And 10 can no longer be argued against the executive.

Trump and ABC, in my mind, crossed a line that they were foolish to cross before they had concrete power. They have too much power now, but they do not have nearly enough to squash the entire country in opposition.

According to the article it looks like executives are pissed at the CEO and pointing out that the previous CEO's short tenure was partly due to caving to Florida's homophobic laws

They need to bring back Michael Eisner.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You do realize he's even more conservative then the two fuck ups that we're talking about here. ~~He would voluntarily get rid of Jimmy Kimmel and anything else that smelled of anti-Trump.~~

I stand corrected.

[–] Trevita17@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You realize that Eisner commented on this days ago and that his comment shows the exact opposite of your accusation, right?

But he's Jewish!

The second amendment ~~becomes~~ remains useless.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well its currently the leading cause of child deaths in america because less kids are being killed by cars than they used to.

So less than useless.

I meant as far as the original purpose goes, certainly it has caused a lot more suffering than prevented tyranny in any way.
