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.

Let me guess: they're going to "rotate" in actual propaganda like NewsMax and OAN...
This rotation appears to be OAN, New York Post, Breitart, and Huff Post. So, three conservative organizations plus Huff Post.
Huff Post is an organization that has no credibility on the right and no experience covering the Pentagon. They're removing the outlets that might actually be able to make a difference while still giving themselves the cover of "Well, we added Huff Post!"
I'm waiting to see them start banning NBC, ABC, etc from Whitehouse press events.
huffpost is currently owned by buzzfeed. buzzfeed, afaik, has not kissed the diaper (yet). buzzfeed shuttered their news division, which was actually 'ok' (and different than the click-chasing junk on buzzfeed itself), after they acquired huffpost. huffpost is their news site now. the wildcard here is that comcast is a major shareholder (around one-third, iirc) of buzzfeed.
huffpost's inclusion could go either way:
they (comcast) flex their muscles and 'encourage' buzzfeed to keep their left-leaning site quiet and 'under control'
they take offense at nbc getting kicked out and use nbc and nbcnews (which are not included in the planned spin-off of cable properties that includes cnbc and msnbc) to help huffpost report the real news and get it on the air.
That is what it said in the summary, yes
Oh, I didn't read the summary. So obvious what they're doing, yet still infuriating...
And HuffPost.
