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, 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.

The people are not the victim here, the people are the ones who are guilty this happened in the first place.
USA may be a flawed democracy, but it is still a democracy.
So no this is not victim blaming.
Again only excuses. You can march, but that is not enough. There needs to be clear demands, and there needs to be planned actions if demands aren't met.
It's trivial to put up websites that can work independently from the media controlled by the 1%.
That can organize local groups, and states and federal at the highest level.
But nobody is doing anything. Apparently Americans won't sacrifice anything to rescue their democracy and country. 😔
Unfortunately you average Democrat is not your best friend on this issue, they are happily letting everything happen, and some even support it! They hope they will take the next turn, and win the next election by a landslide, and then the pendulum can go on like that forever. Except this may be the last chance for USA to save their democracy.
Get over there and be the change you want to see.
Or just be the keyboard warrior coward you know you are.
🐔💩
Pushing the blame doesn't help, but apparently many Americans are reduced to exactly that.
Why would I go to USA to fix your problems, when my friends and family are all here, and I can't vote in USA?
Making that ridiculous statement only shows you know I am right. And you are just deflecting.
What would be your reaction if I claim you should go to Iran and help get rid of their religious government?
It's ridiculous, but somehow Americans think it's some sort of argument when it regards USA?
Cool, in other words you're just a shit talker. To top off it sounds like you're from the fucking EU where half the countries in it are far right anti-immigrant fascists. So where is all this revolution you brave Europeans keep demanding from others?
If I'm a shit talker, you are probably participating in making the world shit for everybody else. I merely ask you to stop that.
USA has only seen the beginning of the consequences for their Psychopathic behavior internationally.
We are emphatically not a democracy. We are a Republic, and the representatives have gone rogue and have corrupted the current system.
You really have no idea how the US functions, and you're embarrassing yourself with this ongoing rhetoric. What even is your goal here? Is your intention to demoralize the people fighting the fascism?
You fuckin people sometimes... Such big words, but nothing constructive or actionable. Toddlers yelling into the wind...
He has a secret shame kink, so the more we make fun of him for being a fucking imbecile, the closer he gets to one day having an erection again.
And then nobody but a few selected people ever see them because there is also the non-trivial part: actual media reach
Sure you can put the website up, but the 1% still control all the mechanisms used to bring it to the attention of most people.
