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.
I don't love that the headline as well as the first line of the article use the words "says" and "claims".
the jury ruled he was guilty. we're so far past "allegedly" and all that garbage. he did it. she was drugged. she was raped. there is no reason to be inferring any amount of doubt anymore.
The jury found him liable, not guilty. This was a civil suit, not criminal. That's why they're saying this and not "convicted of assault" or whatever.
This jury. He was in jail for 3 years before they decided some procedural nonsense made his confession not count.
He did it. He was convinced for it. He served time for it.
I don't love it either in general, but they chose those words very specifically since this was not a criminal case.
And what happened to the other $40.05 million between title and first sentence?
Pay-to-rape, the American way!
Good. Take that you slime bag.
I wonder if she'll ever even see a fraction of that amount.
He’s 84, so there’s no telling how much longer he’ll live. But you damn well know that his estate will fight it tooth-and-nail for as long as they possibly can.
Scumbags.
I remember reading a blog written by a woman claiming Cosby raped her in the mid 90's when I was a kid just scrolling random stuff on Geocities or some site like that.
He’s still alive? Damn, oh well, good things to look forward to.
Even if he were dead, his estate would fight it for as long as they possibly could.
I guess he shouldn't have puddin popped them drugs in her food.
Is it time to zippy doop him back to jail?
