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 tell you, as someone who isn’t getting news from television or the formerly awesome Breaking News (a digital news aggregator that was bought by NBC and later shutdown in 2016), things are bad when you hear about a mass shooting a day after it occurs. This shouldn’t be happening but it should be the worst thing making headlines. The fact it got drown out by President Dumbberfuckle Trumperdickle isn’t good.
Here in Florida, it was on the news the instant it happened, and EVERY local news station immediately sent their top anchor to the school. The 6 pm news had all of them broadcasting from campus.
In fact, coverage of the shooting was so pervasive, that a local CVS burned out during the incident, injuring 3. I'm still trying to find any follow up news coverage, but they skipped it almost entirely. A major pharmacy had a major fire in the middle of the day, and I'd like to know why. How did it start? Was it arson? Was it terrorism? Is there surveillance footage? Why are authorities so quiet about it? Why isnt the news following up on it, and finding the most basic answers?
The FSU shooting sucked up 100% of the bandwidth, and there were no other stories that day, except sports and weather, of course.
This seems like user error to me. Find better sources for news.
I usually use news.google.com and click on the "full coverage" button for individual articles.
This shooting was the top story immediately, and stayed up for at least 1-2 days
