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.

Now the "President of the Free World" is sharing gore to distract from his absolute failure of an illegal unjustifiable war of aggression in support of a genocidal state (which is ethnically cleansing Lebanon as we speak) and the Epstein files.
If you had this shit on your bingo card, you're a time traveller, please take me out of this timeline
Side note: as a non-American member of the 'free world', I've always fucking hated that expression.
As an American, me too.
Yeah, me too, I used the phrase ironically. A nation without universal healthcare has no business calling itself free to begin with, not to mention the entire prison industrial complex, abortion bans, and so on
I got that, but historically, it's been used anything but ironically by the news media, and it's always irked me.
I'm a USian living outside the US. I'm a lot freer than I ever was Stateside.
I've recently listened to a podcast from late 2024, wherein the invited expert predicted the attack on Iran, because a) Republican presidents use wars to distract from their shit policies, and b) Iran was the weakest of available options.
I saw the Iran war coming, and even the defeat, but I assumed Trump would just declare victory anyways and all of his base would just believe him and lap it up. I wasn't expecting him to crash out like this. I never would have foreseen him praising Allah on the timeline on Easter that's for damn sure!
