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.
Impeach billionaires everywhere
Turn them into millionnaires that's enough already for one human being
Great TED Talk!
Is dog food millionaire?
SLAMMED
Yeah, I really wanted to pick a different post title, but community rules say I need to go with the source's headline. :(
I'll be he's reeling after that bombshell.
Not sure on which of his yachts, but reeling, definitely.
Journalism really deserves better.
Slams, slaps, blasts…all sound like shit you would hear in a porno title.
Bezos is despicable.
They have been down playing bozos assholery the whole time. The boat sailed before the ink dried. If you were a rat caught on that boat... I hope you like water.
Counterpoint: The type of "journalism" they did the past decade absolutely does not deserve better. You helped make this bed, now lie in it.
Well, he's owned it since 2013, so that tracks.
Bill Clinton can rot in hell for helping passing the legislation which allowed for media consolidation.
Can we just use "squawk at" instead of "slam"?
Its more accurate to the real world.
Sadly the people that refused to pay to get informed and love to rage about imaginary stories they got from reading headlines only, don't deserve any better. They killed journalism despite massive amounts of warnings and now have to live with the idiot circus that replaced journalism.
I'm not sure what the fix is, aside from a foundational change in society, UBI, etc.. When I was growing up, the paper was a couple bucks a month. Really cheap and there weren't all the online alternatives. Reporting was pretty solid. Then the internet came along embracing the capitalist race to the bottom. My mom (80+ years old) still gets a Sunday paper, instead of daily, but I know that she is one of the only people on her block who even get that. And to be honest, the newspaper coverage is pretty shitty.
There has to be a way to pay reporters to do in depth reporting, taking weeks or months to do all the digging and research, but that takes a financial backing that billionaires could do, but aren't interested in doing. And it seems more and more people don't put their shrinking disposable income in support.
I'm in no way saying you're wrong, I just don't see a solution. We now just jump from outrage to outrage, informed by idiot tiktokers and uneducated ideologues. But it's free and flashy...squirrel!
Pay for a newspaper? Thanks, I will rather spend my money on supplements advertised between conspiracy theories served to me by some crazy person on YT.
excuse me jeeves it's time for my colloidal silver bath
SLAM!
