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.

When Clinton deregulated news media and campaign finance, it didn't just let the rich influence the Dems, it handed the Republican party lock and key to them.
Like, everyone is bitching about Trump's cuts to federal workers right now, completely ignorant that it took 30 years to recover from Clinton's 90s cuts...
trump is doing the neoliberal playbook, he's just too dumb to make people think it's a solid plan.
Have you not seen the posts from neoliberals taunting progressives over how many Palestinians are being killed?
Have you not seen what happens when people talked about Biden's flaws?
Now, I wouldn't expect anyone to watch mainstream cable news, but if you did you'd see it's filled with people saying it 24/7.
It's all over the place.
And that's just politically active people...
Most voters just flat out don't know what happened 30 years ago, it's worth people knowing why we're here so we can leave and never come back.
I see I'm talking to a well versed person who thinks a Neoliberal is the same is a liberal and happens to avoid the Nazi salute and Guantanamo Bay part. Interesting. I wish the laptop version could tag people.
What?
Ironically enough, I have legitimately been to Gitmo, no idea how it's relevant tho...
