Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

No, they are just blind to context. It's Trump. He is threatening a treason charge precisely because it carries a potential death penalty. He knows that, that's why he's making the threat, and he is vindictive enough to abuse the legal system to make an example of some poor scribbler.
You saying something carries a potential death penalty and the articles writing he DEMANDS DEATH PENALTY do not seem to me like the same thing. Blind to context or unbiased, you choose how to call it.
