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.

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.

Yes, it's the liberals fault! Why aren't they stopping the people who have power over every part of our government! I realize the media doesn't talk about when they do protest, but that's no excuse! Why aren't there more protests, more often and bring guns! /s
I guess the republicans could stop them at any point in this process, but they don't. You know, cuz it's a fucking job he can be fired from.
My point is where is the outrage?
Why isn’t this the cover story on every national news webpage and trending on socials?
Because the media is fucking complicit.
Dude, you know I love ya man, but there's a reason most of us are here instead of the bad place. This is one of the least suppressed social media outlets, and it still has its issues with who controls the front page of all. The only reason the "No Kings" protest was covered was because millions showed up and their readers were probably in the crowd. It has to get to millions to cover it.
Yes the right has much better messaging then liberals or leftists.
I know you're just fucking around, but we're just so freaking tired. We don't know how this will end either. Right now, it's not looking good.
I’m frustrated that so many people sat around and didn’t vote and now that we have a chance to hammer on the outrage constantly so people are angry and motivated to make a change we’re not.
The epstein thing is making cracks in his base. I'm not getting my hopes up, but if you look over at conservative in the bad place, they seem to be turning a little. Being mad at what's already been done is useless.
I also think you're not realizing how much the media is behind trump. I don't know if it's so they don't get sued, blackmailed or what, but it's definitely happening. If you go through the media like I do every day, it's blatantly obvious that the headline writers are on his side. Most people only read the headlines and they know that. The articles themselves are mostly good, but even ones that I put in the top 3 will *sometimes not explain everything. You have to read 4 or 5 articles to get the full story and most people don't have time for that shit.
Edit: Actually I do have a clue as to why the media is on trump's side, he cuts their taxes and mostly makes them a shit ton of money. I put together this list of all of the media owners before the last election, and every single one is either owned by a billionaire or has corporations on their board of directors. https://sh.itjust.works/post/20890256
Aren't you the liberal? Why aren't you protesting this?
I love how you assume I’m not.
What in the chicken fried fuck are you talking about?
We have litterally thousands of comments to evaluate each other by.
Do you have some sort of ‘Lemmy user that doesn’t protest’ program built now?
Actually I've been working on a shitlib detector.
Go ahead. Try it out.
I know I’m a liberal and I’m vocal about it so there’s no need to.
Thanks though!
Idk man the radar says shitlib..
People day that about every story coming out of the Trump admin. And it's true, every one of these stories would be a huge scandal in normal times
The thing is America is now an autocratic country. Opposing the oligarchs, especially Trump, now leads to significant personal consequences
This is all setup. Silencing dissenting news doesn't immediately do anything. It just let's them do terrible things more easily in the future
Once it gets real ugly, I'll be leaving. I voted against and protested against this stuff my whole life. It didn't work. Until it gets to that point though, I make way more here than elsewhere. Might as well bank money while I can
