Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

The same day that the new mandolorian and grogu trailer dropped! Wow! What a coincidence!
Remember baby Yoda?
Of course you do, buy some more shit you dum-dums!
I LOVE GROGU MORE THAN MY NEWBORN SON 
DiSSney should hire me, I just came up with Grogurt, a go-gurt type snack themed on grogu. I'll take my $250000 cheque please.
Edit: it's a thing already??? I'm sad and disappointed
It looks like shit. Sure as hell wont be worth movie prices, not that I would have gone either wy
i don't pay for slop so ill watch it and not worry i helped their money or algorithm.
oh its a movie. well, it will be on streaming after like 2 weeks anyways.
Finally, after several long days my snout can descend into the rat feces! 
I only pirate now, I am a festering blight eating away at black heart of modern media.
Don't worry, I'd assume most of us do too. Media subscriptions are expensive
trump rolls worst fascist cultural purge ever, asked to leave
American treatlerites continue their holy war for treats, instead of solidarity
Libs: Genocide happening, I sleep, but when their treats are threatened, that's when the gloves come off!
50% believe pisrael perpetrating genocide, but somehow that intersection with disney viewership (or any other bds target) is 0%. Very cool, solidarity from seppos as stellar as ever
Excuse me but they did their part by saying that they oppose genocide and really really believing it. They even reposted a hot take on twitter!
They are the resistance and they earned their reprieve by watching kimmel do a hecking clapback against the orange orangutan or something.
They did it by cancelling their Disney+ subscriptions but can bother with BDS.
It's both hilarious and depressing to witness all the libs and self-proclaimed leftists celebrate and pat themselves on the back on Mastodon right now. Some are even posting how Disney will still not get them back, because they have now seen their true colours. I mean, interesting red line. I sure thought that would have come sooner.
Wow, amazing activism. Activism that achieved to get the status quo back. Great.
Voting with the wallet, got Jimmy Kimmel. Great success.
Amazing how the focus is on a wealthy media personality who, even if he were fired, would still be able to lead a life of luxury unimaginable to the vast majority of people, and not on the scores of minimum wage workers who have had their livelihoods destroyed for not sieg-heiling
Thank goodness, now I can go back to being upset that this unfunny joker has a job
and now every lib renews their harry potter subscription.
Democracy has won.
We can go back to brunch!
Damn this sucks, nothing ever happens
FUCK THIS DEAD FASCIST PODCASTER. HOLY FUCK.
They sure do talk about how great he was, but they never play any of his videos or any audio. Weird huh?
Rustled as they may be, the twin Jimmies stand tall for another day
Trump can't even do a proper purge.
Time for Jimmy to become the Avenging Son
He's gonna apologize to Kirk's ghost on air, isn't he?
OK, but artists pulling out of Lilith Fair in protest of Disney suspending the former co-host of The Man Show is a top-tier bit that was not on my hellworld bingo card
Tangential, but what is the consensus around here about Jimmy Kimmel? Is he just the typical vapid liberal host or is he more insidious than that? I know nothing about him other than that he was on that misogynist The Man Show a long time ago and that the few times I tried to watch him, he was not even a little bit amusing, just dull and totally lacking charisma. But my lib dad who also never watched him before now thinks he's this great comedian who speaks truth to power. 🙄
he's not funny and did blackface.
I dont know why he thought a Karl Malone impression would be wanted or ever asked for
He brought the hardcore band “Knocked Loose” on live television which was pretty fun, outside of that I have no opinions.
Oh shit! I forgot that was on his show. Bryan dropping a pig squeal on national television was so fucking funny.
i will never respect anyone who's watched enough late night tv to form an opinion on him
WE DID IT HEXBEAR!!
Remember: dont sit so close to the tv
