Independent News
Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.
The rundown:
-
Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.
-
Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]
-
No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.
-
Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.
-
Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.
*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.
*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

How was that user misled exactly? What details are they leaving out?
Most of them. They're in the article. The one I linked on this community that links to articles, on a link aggregator platform.
Edit: It's weird that you're downvoting everyone telling people to read articles in a discussion about an article.
Well if there's so many that'll be pretty easy to give me an exact example like I asked for. How were they misled exactly?
Also I will freely continue to downvote comments that waste my time because they don't actually address anything.
I linked it above, conveniently at the top of this thread so I don't have to type it all out.
edit: If you don't want to read the news, hate the suggestion of reading the news, and believe people are wasting your time by telling you to read the news, this may not be the right community for you.
Well that's telling isn't it?
Also I think you need to work on your reading comprehension. No one ever said I didn't read anything. Were you not reading the usernames? Maybe you need to do a little bit more practicing what you preach.
It's easy to tell when someone didn't read an article when you've read the article. Yes, I know who I'm talking to.
Okay, well, sorry to see you go. Good luck out there.
Yes you're right it is easy to tell when someone didn't read the article. Like for instance when someone asked them a question about a specific point of the article and they can't give one for four comments in a row. Yes very easy to tell. Agreed.
Lol. I'm OP, I posted it.
I don't encourage laziness.
With all the time you spent arguing with me you could have read the article — and saw that the very next sentence after the blurb makes our friend leopard's point moot.
All right at the risk of wasting another five comments of pointless dribble I have to ask. How did information that was included in the title of the post change the point they made?
