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.

The Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, in its files tied to the death and criminal investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says Friday's release means the DOJ is now in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed last November and which legally required the DOJ to release all the files.

Unless the redacted stuff is also revealed no your not in compliance

[–] lofuw@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. A lot of what they redacted has been shown to be protecting the perpetrators, not the victims.

They're still out there, and they got away with it.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 weeks ago

After they've discarded any files involving right-wing perpetrators.

Hey guys. I am in a bit a busy right now and don't have time to read this post. Is Donald J. Trump a pedophile?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I mean if we we're graphing out the odds its like 99.99999% likely he's a pedophile. There is so much evidence.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What's your basis for giving him a .000001% chance that he isn't?

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

There's the slightest chance that there is no such person as Donald Trump, and he is in fact a projection into all of our minds by a powerful and malevolent telepath.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah its mostly a hedge for the possibility like he's a clone or something and the real donald trump is long dead or it turns out he's an identical twin. We're certain there was a pedophile named donald trump.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Survey says Yes

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well, he's a MAGA, so...Yes.

Idk. Some guy who keeps showing up in the news. I think he is some sort of Influencer or news pundit.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, obviously.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's been called worse.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Well then, how about you arrest the fucking rapist paedophile that is listed over a thousand times in those files...??? Eh, department of JUSTICE???

[–] lofuw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

First time I've ever read the word 'tranche.'

"Let's do as little as possible to meet the requirements". Sounds like me in high school. Real life pro's should be better than this. Is everything tainted with corruption, stupidity and laziness? Was it all along?
