World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They sure are, and I don't owe you a thesis statement on how I concluded this, opinions don't need proving to being with and I know that I've been exposed to, and critical of all political perspectives in US media for years. I did not ask for your "humble opinion" which is far from humble when presented as more valid than mine since it's assumed your rejection of my opinion doesn't require evidence of any sort, and I have no interest in entertaining your ignorance. If you would care to objectively assess the state of legacy media in the US under constant threat from tRump and his crony led FCC, I invite you to do so, and then perhaps we could have a serious discussion. Until then, and because you only seem able to criticize the terminology I use while ignoring the point, I'm going to ignore you because I think your only goal in responding to me is distraction and suppression.
What do you then mean by „this media”? The singular form tells me you are thinking of a particular media like Lemmy. May be we have a misunderstanding here, because what concerns Trump and his entourage, I suppose we share the same thoughts as almost all users here.
You have to be more careful when presuming. The singular form is medium, media IS the pluralistic form. I say the US media as a blanket term that includes both legacy corporate news, credible journalism groups like AP and Reuters, and independent US based outlets. I am aware of my 'leftist' bias in so far as partisan labels have any use, but I believe politics is more nuanced than that, and put critical thinking and historical education above partisanship when I can. I don't know what thoughts we share, but I'm sure there was some sort of miscommunication.
