Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Ethan is politically illiterate so he thought he and hasan shared politics, so he invited him to co-host a show on his multi-million subscriber channel. They mostly dunked on conservatives but it was always tense when the subject of real left politics came up (china, socialism, anti-imperialism)
After oct 7 ethan has just been regurgitating liberal zionist talking points, and a few months ago he made a huge video criticism hasan's anti-zionism, hasan ignored him for the most part and ever since ethan has been on a crusade to EXPLICITLY get him, his friends and anyone with radical leftist politics deplatformed off twitch.
Which is a big part of why this anti-hasan thing is catching steam, ethan is a prominent liberal jewish youtuber with a show that nets 500-800k views an episode, and he's leveraged his own and destiny's communities to, as he puts it, "hold hasan accountable"
Ok, so, to break it down for you, as simply as possible, the people in this thread are trying to tell you that without Ethan Klein doing his best to deplatform Hasan, people at Fox News probably wouldn't know who Hasan is, or, at the very least, they wouldn't have written an article also trying to deplatform him.
Now, whether that analysis is right or not, I have no idea. I don't watch Hasan, I don't know anything about Ethan Klein, so yeah, no clue. But I think the claim is pretty straightforward, and it is as follows: without Ethan Klein trying to deplatform Hasan, Fox News wouldn't have written this article. And the truth or falsity of that claim has nothing to do with whether Ethan Klein or his supporters are mentioned in the article itself.
Here's how it's relevant CW: a lot of racism in this compilation of ethan being a massive piece of shit
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
What's your fucking point?
It's been a bizzare turn to see the libs uncritically accept everything fucking Fox News says as fact. They really just don't like it because they are told not to like it, that's all it is. Has nothing to do with bias or media literacy, and solely because it is the "bad guy" news, but they'll ignore that when it suits them.
