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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

Maybe find yourself a better narrative, Vance. Lot of narratives in the world. Some of them even reflect unfavorably on immigration.

And let me also add, setting aside campaign strategy for the Trump campaign for a moment, that if you truly went looking high-and-low for anti-immigrant narratives and a fabricated story about Haitians eating pets was in the shortlist to pick from, maybe the situation with immigration isn't actually all that bad.

That's my thinking. If this is the best they can come up with there must not be a lot going on.

[–] Gurei@sh.itjust.works 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Headline should read 'Vance Behind Fake News.'

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago

Sounds more like willfully enabling murder.

Or, accessory to murder.

If they see people getting hurt/killed and they keep pushing the lines, they are fucking guilty.

I wonder how he thinks smearing an entire city in Ohio will play... in Ohio?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Based on the polling... pretty well. Trump is up by 9.2% over Harris in Ohio.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

That's from polling taken before the debate and before the insane attacks on Springfield. I'm curious what things will look like once post-debate Ohio polls start factoring in.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Or not badly enough for a 9 point swing anyway.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

As someone that grew up in Ohio this entire debacle is heartbreaking.

Fuck Trump and Vance for their fear mongering horseshit.

[–] Hellinabucket@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

As someone from Ohio, nobody really cares about Springfield anyway, it and Youngstown regularky make the lists for most depressing cities in the nation.

aka "Reality is hard to campaign about, so instead we'll campaign on fake, made-up shit"

Or , more likely, "focus groups said real issues will only lose us support"

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

With so many narratives they could have chosen:

When a ton of immigrants come in it puts a strain on the social welfare system.

When a ton of new immigrant children comes into a new school district it puts a large strain on the teachers.

I mean there are things they could have chosen, but pets being eaten? Really? How exactly did they choose that?

Put up random crazy things on a wall and throw darts?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Because you don't want your voters to have to think about nuanced issues. You want them to react with pure emotion.

[–] tux@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Man someone needs to get a class action lawsuit of as many Haitian immigrants in Ohio together as possible. Sue the fuckers

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, fake news is okay with him then? I have a good story! It involves a couch.

[–] NoFun4You@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I heard it was a real story.

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

He said it's based on reports from his constituents. The headline is misrepresenting what couchfucker said by leaving out part of the conversation. He is creating publicity for his campaign.
