News
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.

I find it disheartening how instantaneously people will run with a half baked conspiracy theory that at best is typically "somewhat possible".
Besides the fact that we should actually want evidence to believe something, trump doesn't really seem to think ahead, so yeah I don't think he's repeatedly staged his own assassination attempts.
Lets see.
First dinner he's ever attended.
white house leaks hes planning some big mic drop event.
several attendees have made statements about security being less than previous dinners. (Weird since its first time trumps attended, huh?)
Reporter tries to report on fox news about trump insiders telling her to be safe (before things even go down) and gets cut off mid sentance.
Someone still manages to get a gun through and gets juuuuust close enough to be a concern without being a threat.
A magically perfect opportunity to go on afterwards and justify the big golden ballroom he wants so bad.
Yeah, totally nothing to see here. Just some harmless coincidences, stop thinking so hard with your "conspiracies" and "theories", libtards. /s
Yeah let's not let pesky things like "what in fuck good would this do for trump?" Get in the way of throwing spaghetti at the wall!
Be skeptical. Jesus Christ people.
These people are so incredibly fucking stupid. It's been wild watching the people I agree with slowly start to sound like the Rush-Limbaugh-guzzling halfwits I grew up with. Even if they're right in the end, their reasons for arriving at this conclusion are just impossibly childish.
Yeah they seem to think the coward would risk his life for a flimsy attempt at some brownie points with his base, and they don't even seem to entertain the idea he didn't
Yeah, at this point it's devolved into some weird liberal purity test for the less serious people. I hate it.
Yeah you're right to compare them to qanon. I'm being treated like I "believe the official story" and that I'm a "sheep" simply for stating the obvious fact that nothing conclusive about this theory exists.
Here's a good on-point article from an anarchist that hasn't lost her mind like these morons: https://open.substack.com/pub/margaretkilljoy/p/forget-the-conspiracies?r=t57p3
