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.

what the fuck are they going to ultimately say the underground railroad was? What will they say it was helping who escape? THIS WHOLE THING IS STUPID!
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
might be a bit pretentious to quote 1984 but boy, try telling me the right wing reality distortion field doesn't exist.
That's legitimately why the republicans want to rename the Gulf of Mexico
What do you mean "rename"? It's always been the Gulf of America.
we have always been allied with eurasia. we have always been at war with east asia
Ouch, this physically hurt haha
Not pretentious at all. This is the exact thing Orwell was warning about. Never a better time to quote it.
It was a fun place people could pretend to be trains! Choo chooo!!
The Enola Gay dropped one tiny atom on Japan
Hey man, get with the times, that name makes Hesgeth angy
Enola still sounds a bit woman-y. Maybe replace it with something manly like Donald.
The Enola Gay becomes the Elon Straight!
Or, to be the correct amount of condescending and dehumanizing, the “Elon Normal.”
This fucking guy 😹
what did I do?
You know damn well what you did, guy.
No way would they put up anything that suggested someone could be trains.
These are the same folks that say the civil war was fought for "states rights".
They have no problem with ignoring details.
To be replaced by "Harold Whiteman", a dapper man of Nordic ancestry, who helped white slaves escape from white slavery with the help of the friendly neighborhood watch organization, the KKK!
Soon you'll only get "Did you mean 'the subway'?" search results with "underground railroad".
what are you talking about, the underground railroad has always been the 4/5 subway line in NYC that connects the Trump Building in Wall Street with the Trump Tower in 5th Ave, right?
As if that fuck would ever take the train
