What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Fascists love carefully crafting their “perfect” image.

What an embarrassment of a man.

Fuck them. They can have as much of my viewership and brand loyalty as CBS.

We knew people would boo. He knew people would boo. NBC knew people would boo. We knew they would censor it. He knew they would censor it. They knew they would censor it.

Add this to the giant list of things to fix after the fascist revolution is defeated.

Companies should not be able to market 'Entertainment news shows' or 'Opinion news shows' as actual fact-based objective reality 'News'. Just like manufacturers can't label peanut butter as 'allergen free', we understand that product labels are important information for a consumer so that they can make informed choices.

Having TV shows like Fox News being able to pretend to be a real news organization is one of the first weaknesses that was exploited in the media system.
