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.

Jonathan Ross. Don't let the world forget that Jonathan Ross murdered an innocent woman.

nah, if she didn't wanna get shot, she

checks notes

shouldn't have been peacefully existing.

Am I doing this right?

The article didn't even mention what state he's in now. How are citizens supposed to express their "sympathy and gratitude" to him with a firm handshake if they don't even know how to find him? Asking for a friend.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 1 points 1 day ago

thoughts and prayers for him.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its not hard to find anyone these days

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Maybe if you have those sorts of skills, but I sure don't. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't know how to find these people unless their location is posted somewhere online, say maybe a fan club website for people who want an autograph?

Jonathan Ross has to be a very common name too. Plenty of scope for "congratulating" the wrong person.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Ugh, wouldn't want to inadvertently give someone stolen valor just because they share a name!

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

Yes, that's right. And that's exactly why he's climbing the career ladder. That's how it is in a country ruled by criminals.

The U.S. legal system is just as unlikely to hold him accountable as the administration, because it is so corrupt that it not only fails to fulfill its purpose but serves as a tool for these criminals to secure their power indefinitely. Another example of this is the Epstein case.

This system is obviously beyond repair. Yet it will continue this way, because U.S. citizens aren’t doing anything about it.

It's such an average name. I have the feeling there's been several (in)famous people with that exact name in the past century.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's the name of a famous talk show host in the UK

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Pretty sure that is Johnathan Woss. /s

Hope that's not insulting. I quite enjoy his lisp. I only know him from being the good host of Penn & Teller's Fool Us.

[–] YerLam@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

He's had his ups and downs but I think he's got a new show on TV (in the UK) after going off air for a while.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I believe for some of his social media he uses wossy
