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.

Now now, this is not the time to be spitting that language on Iran. Remember, we're supposed to be sympathetic to them because America chose to war with them. /s
This timeline is garbage in terms of world events.
I'm sympathetic to the people, not to their shitty government.
The real takeaway here is that the war isn't doing anything to stop Iran's violent repression
Exactly. The Trump administration and Israel allegedly took out the majority of the Iranian government's leadership (and killed a lot of innocent people in order to do so), yet somehow the result is just that more innocent people are dying.
I'm just going to come right out and say it. What's the deal with this war?
Sorry to ask such a provocative question. Definitely don't want to wind up on some watch list for criticizing the ~~regime~~ administration.
Also, we are finally just calling it a war right? I know Netenyahu is, but wasn't sure which double speak the U.S. is officially using? Are we still supposed to be pretending it's an "intervention" and therefore not illegal?
It's not really supposed to
Well imagine you're in Iran: you don't have weapons, you don't have any chance to organize... What is going to stop the oppression?
Sad to say but something like this really is the only chance they have
The US could arm them, but the US government probably fears that they'd turn on the US later
Well we did bomb a school full of little girls so I would not blame them for taking the guns and turning on us.
How stupid do you need to be to not be able to condemn a clearly stupid and horrible war but not think that that automatically makes the victim country a "good" country
As an American I hope to also not be judged by the actions of my country's fascist regime
