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.

How is this news? Some random US official suggested something??? Yall gotta stop with this bullshit.

You know, those dirty dark-skinned people might have sexually corrupted those ethnically pure wome. It's one of the strongest primal tropes for propaganda use.

Since when does Hamas give a shit about public perception???? Rape and murder are fine but they draw the line when Kentucky Karen clutches pearls?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

OP is radically pro-Israel. They did everything they could to avoid admitting that it was bad to bomb refugees, especially after telling them to go and then bombing them when they go there. They just kept talking about bad things Hamas did as if that justified bombing refugees. All I can think is they don't consider Palestinians to be human.

That is what people are kidnapped do.

A report on a statement is not speculation. The statement could be, but not the report.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe, but that's not how the article is framed.

Personally, I don't think someone spouting off should be repeated. Good journalism would be investigating and verifying the claim.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's a government spokesman. Good journalism is to quote him directly, which they did. Quotation marks and everything.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good journalism would be not quoting and repeating unsubstantiated claims at all.

Unless you're going to write an article saying "spokesman makes wild and unsubstantiated claims at press conference".

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So good journalism is actually editorials. It's what you think, not what someone says.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a term for repeating merely what someone says: hearsay. In no way should that be considered news or journalism.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -1 points 2 years ago

That's pretty funny

Media bias / fact check for The Messenger:

Overall, we rate The Messenger Right-Center biased based on story selection and editorial perspectives that moderately favor the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to the use of poor sources, sensationalized content, and one-sided reporting.
