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.

It sucks for all the normal folks impacted by this, but being unable to travel for Thanksgiving might actually wake up enough people to the plight they voted for.
You know that all republicans (including redneck in trailer parks) are watching faux news 24h/24 where they talk about the horrible democrat shutdown, so they will remember to vote republican again.
There's always a few that aren't, people who can be pried off of the leftward flank.
If you think there aren't then you might as well start advocating for the dissolution of the United States, because the experiment is over and it's a failure.
I laughed in a co workers face when he told me it was "democrats fault that the government is shutdown" these people are so fucking deluded they don't even bother looking at anything outside their bubble. He then told me that the Democrats are trying to fund "transgender sex change operations in argentina". They are literally flipping reality on its head they do not care for the truth only what media pundits feed to them.
Yep. They are getting their news from the "news" networks that cannot even get the fucking name of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY right.
I don't hold out much hope for them to wake up, since these are also the people that are terrified of all things "woke".
I fled a republican controlled hell hole because I'm queer. Even if flying was in a normal situation I wouldn't be going back there anytime soon.
I'm "lucky" in that I haven't really been close to my family for a verity of reasons, but I have friends who are and it does suck for them.
Let them ~~eat cake~~ take Greyhound.
Greyhound is not cake in this analogy, it would be a private jet.
Billionaires being unable to use their private jets does it even faster.
I'm all for it.
