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.

Please tell me you're kidding. You obviously don't read the newspapers. It was in all of the Tribune papers and USA TODAY - this man ASKED to be executed by nitrogen gas.
You're failure to keep up on the news is not proof that what I'm saying isn't right. Sheesh!!
The state has supreme ability to administer justice and in every case should be doing so. YOU are an asshole and an idiot and a liar because you hate the fact that I've cornered you on this.
So go suck a lemon and continue to parade your ignorance around online for all to see ya dumb fuckhead.
>"it was all over the news!"
>can't provide any proof
Burden of proof is on you, buddy.
WRONG AGAIN. You're the one making a false accusation that I'm lying, the burden of proving I am is ON YOU, not me.
In Friday's edition (January 26th) of USA Today there's a lengthy article about this man's execution and once again it says, "he chose to have this method of execution." It says so pretty clearly. If you choose not to follow up and read the article for yourself, it's only because you don't want to read the truth.
And it's also been reported on the national news that he CHOSE this for his manner of death. So if you're not willing to face that, that's on you.
I'm not the one you've been arguing with and I'm also European 🤷♂️
You made a claim, you need to provide proof for it, not everyone else. That's how burden of proof works.
I did provide proof with the name of the publication and date of it as I posted above. I not only made the claim, I backed it up. When will you have the maturity to see that and admit it.
