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.

Mr Trump made the gaffe about the threat of World War II — which finished in 1945 — during the part of his address in which he was questioning the mental acuity of 80-year-old Mr Biden.

It's worth knowing if Trump actually thinks that we haven't had world war two already.

It's weird that you interpret something highlighted as a gaffe as knowing - right up there with those whining about Biden's speech issues.

It's weird that you think a pattern of demented speech is not news worthy. Actually kind of hilarious you're trying to sound smart as you stand up specifically for Donald Trump.

Absolutely 100% newsworthy and not even slightly how you're trying to paint it. Go back to 4chan

You're performing the blue team equivalent of whining about Biden's stutter after defending Biden's stutter. The irony is amazing.

Go back to 4chan

Right after you go back to r/Politics.

I was banned in that sub more than once, but sure. That and the fact that I'm forever boycotting reddit...totally, I'm clamoring to use a shitty sub there.

No one really gives a flying fuck about shitty wrong opinions that help no one except Trump. Except in r/conservative, perhaps where I should have told you to go back to instead

It's not hard to see why - they tend not to like blatant trolls, even blue-friendly ones.

That and the fact that I’m forever boycotting reddit…totally, I’m clamoring to use a shitty sub there.

It's unfortunate you decided to migrate Reddit idiocy as well.

No one really gives a flying fuck about shitty wrong opinions

And yet, you keep posting this nonsense.

Except in r/conservative, perhaps where I should have told you to go back to instead

Ahh, I see - to you, the mere criticism of this being not newsworthy is somehow a defense of Trump therefore I'm conservative. Brilliant partisan thinking there.

No one cares that you think you're being somehow superior to everyone else for defending Trump. Go away, magat (I don't give a fuck if you somehow aren't a trump supporter, you strapped on their uniform)

It's incredible you can't fathom a world where a criticism of the newsworthiness of an article isn't also somehow a stretched defense of the subject of the article.

This is your brain on partisanship, folks.

Go away, magat (I don’t give a fuck if you somehow aren’t a trump supporter, you strapped on their uniform

"I DON'T CARE IF I'M WRONG, I'M THROWING A TANTRUM". Nice look.

I can fathom a world where trolls don't exist, but for now, fine, I'll block your dipshit ass

[–] jeremy_sylvis@midwest.social -1 points 2 years ago

Weren't you the troll banned from the r/Politics cesspit? Irony.
