News
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.

It's clear why they want to but why are our news outlets amplifying their messages. They shouldn't be
Because "our" "news" outlets are owned by the same people who funded the opposition to Mamdani in the first place.
Ah yes. Well noticed there, gewd jerb.
P.S. Apparently you're not aware that I can see you downvoting every single comment of mine, as if that helps your ridiculous stance in any way. So far you downvoted three of my comments that have nothing to do with this thread.
P.P.S. This loser is going through my whole comment history downvoting the comments.
The Guardian has been massively pro-Israel for most of their Genocide in Gaza and even now that they toned down the very overt support for it, still uses two-tiered language when it comes to Israel and Palestinians, such as using "says" or "states" for statements from the former whilst for the latter using "claims", reporting on deaths by saying that Israelis "were killed" whilst Palestinians merely "died", describing attacks on civilians as "terrorism" if done by Hamas but not if done by Israel and, more generally, using the kind of language towards Israel that produces the impression of them being "righteous" and "one of us" whilst for Palestinians languages that dehumanizes them and/or produces the impression of them being "criminals" and "not one of us".
Further, The Guardian is pretty much "The Voice Of The English Upper and Upper Middle Class", who are definitely people siding with American fatcats same as they side with their own fatcats and with pretty much the entire elite privilege-preserving infrastructure over there (their coverage of The Royals is the very definition of "fawning").
They're basically the British equivalent of the New York Times.
So yeah, it's absolutely logical to suspect that The Guardian are purposefully "amplifying their messages" because that's something entirely consistent with how they've always treated Israel.
I know they are a uk based news outlet but they are popular here and market to Americans like they expect us to read it and they still aren't Israeli so what's your point?
Also it not just this paper reporting this crap it's nonstop.
Oh no! A UK-based news outlet dares to write about things happening outside of the UK, unlike every other news outlet in the world. And they've become popular in the US, how dare they! This definitely means they're ‘our’ US news site, like every cowardly and duplicitous US news outlet, which is all of them.
And they're also still ‘aren't Israeli’, whatever the fuck that means despite The Guardian consistently criticizing Israel's attempts at the inflammatory foreign policy and comments, and you being deliberately blind to all of that. So what does your incoherent drivel mean?
P.S. I can still see you downvoting my unrelated comments, dummy.
I was saying that a news outlet that I used to respect is using their platform to amplify the propaganda of a hostile foreign leader. I don't understand what your problem is with that. Maybe you just have problems in general?
I said "our news outlets" because this is a place I normally get my news you fucking idiot.
I was expressing disgust with the paper I read. But you really got me!
Not only you're dumb beyond belief as to interpret things as that, but of course you also downvote every comment of mine here and there as if they have anything to do with anything, like that helps your argument in any way.
Please continue to spout ridiculous nonsense as to how any site you ever visited is “your news outlet”, that will surely fortify your view.
Sounds like you are just a Zionist anyways. Probably a "settler".
Oh yeah, anyone who downvotes your nonsensical drivel any time per your hundreds of downvotes is a 'settler'. Just like it works with Israelites. But somehow you're not one of them asswipes hijacking actual constructive discussion, are you? No, you're just one of the incoherent clowns repeating the same accusations against people opposed to actual political discussion, aren't you?
