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.

Yeah, I saw the video and could have told everyone this. I mean, I get why they have to do it, but I hate that I now live in the world where this is at all questioned.

The only reason there's any contention about it broadly is because MAGA has brainwashed themselves to "not look up" and not even view the video for fear they will actually see the comet approaching.

Go post the shooting on conservative sites without editorial and see how fast you get banned. (No, really do this, you all should have burner accounts on right-wing social media platforms, do something fucking useful with your keyboard time.)

You and the headline missed that she was shot in the left side of the head and went out the right side. Could only have come from the side of the vehicle where the shooter couldn't have been in any danger.

Exactly. The article doesn't say the first two shots were from the front, but they weren't necessarily life-threatening even if they were. The final shot came when the shooter was out of the way and no longer had any reason to fear for his life and, therefore, had no reason to fire a third time.

It was "the fog of war." Ask Pete Hegseth, he'll explain to all of us, because we've never heard of it before.

You and the headline missed

I don't think there's any contention here, I saw her get shot, I know a bullet from a particular "agent" went into her head.

The idiot who was "in danger" went from shooting through the windshield to shooting through the side window

It’s not questioned it’s stating fact which is always done with a cause of death.
