Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

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 not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Canadian broadcaster tried to cover up Ukrainian fighter’s swastika tattoo (VIDEO) (www.rt.com)

Snip:

The Canadian national broadcaster has aired a news report from “an elite training facility” of the 3rd Assault Brigade in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, featuring a fighter with a swastika tattoo on his arm.

CBC blurred out the symbol in the report that aired on Thursday, but failed to do so in the video’s YouTube thumbnail.

Formed in 2023, the 3rd Assault Brigade is a direct successor to the Azov Regiment, which has been accused by human rights groups and the UN of war crimes and torture, and widely criticized for its use of symbols tied to the Waffen-SS.

Moscow has long condemned Kiev’s glorification of Nazi collaborators and accused Western governments of ignoring far-right elements in Ukraine’s armed forces.

The reporter for the CBC video is Ben Makuch who has done extensive reporting on Neo-Nazis in America and over the world. He should be well familiar with the Ukrainian fascists. So either 1; CBC is editing Ben's reporting without his knowledge, 2: Ben approves and is trying to whitewash these Nazis, or 3: Ben doesn't care or is under contract for CBC to do whatever they want to his work.

I once worked with a Spanish guy from the Dominican with Nazi tattoos

Many years ago I took part in marches to save the CBC from Harper's brutal cuts. I grew up on Quirks and Quarks. This really hurts.
