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.

These hosts are absolutely awful. Every time he rambles and lies, they give Harris a new topic. Occasionally they ask a question and barely point out that he didn't answer it.

The hosts need to hold him to a debate, not let him play it like a Trump rally.

Harris is doing fantastic.

[–] AlexanderESmith@social.alexanderesmith.com 89 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They called him out on that insane 9mo abortion nonsense, and the people eating pets.

Honestly, that's the moon compared to usual.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

They half heartedly disagreed and let him repeat it again, just like they won't correct him every time he lies about immigrant crime. It might be slightly better than past debates, but they are absolutely letting him run the show.

Everything he said is a lie. They would spend the whole debate rebutting him.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, actually correct him and mute his mic and he would storm off the stage like a giant baby.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

This is what should happen. Blatant lie means you lose time for corrections.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh look, Harris wanted to respond out of turn one time and the hosts shut her down after letting Trump interrupt all night.

Wow, his 15% more time that he was able to get by interrupting and not shutting up when his time was up sure felt a lot longer than it was.

That was so irritating! On the other hand, the more he talked the more idiotic he sounded so maybe it wasn't such a bad thing.

[–] sh00g@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is the first time we have seen moderators actually fact check Trump live. I'll take that in spite of the interruptions.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

They were meek and let him talk over them. I guess more than zero is better than nothing, but it is a pretty low bar.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's almost like they were prepared with researched facts based on his most commonly repeated blatant lies.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

It's really infuriating. Every time he's asked a question, and she gets a rebuttal, he just starts rebutting her rebuttal and they just let him. And half the time what he's says has nothing to do with the question that was asked. They cut Kamala off pretty much every time.

They should have gotten this guy to moderate.
