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.
"Democracy dies in darkness" wasn't a warning, it was a promise.
Bezos is on the evil list
Has been for a loooooong time
…and on the guillotine list
Who the fuck reads the Washington Post these days anyway? It’s just pro fascism and Israel propaganda
The fascists and Zionists. And trust me, there's quite a few of them.
Same with NY Times...they lost my respect at the Iraq war and the WMDs bullshit.
Democracy Dies in Darkness
"I'll make sure of it." ---Jeff Bezos
I wonder what all these serious journalists though while working there
Did they really believe they'd be spared?
Parasite bezos deserves a quick trip to the guillotine.
alien bezos, remember we came back from space that one year, and he acted like a non human when spraying alcohol on shatner.
I'd love to see some sort of news media co-op where journalists are in charge, it's grass-roots/community reporting focused, and big business is not entwined in the underlying structure.
There’s some great outfits like 404 Media, but I see complaints all the time on here about login or paywall requirements that they use to try and make it a sustainable operation.
Isn't that exactly what the Associated Press is?
You're right! I was mistaken, thanks for pointing it out.
It needs to happen. We're in a situation right now where media is captive by the same forces driving EVERYTHING right now. Re-establishing a free and honest press is pretty much required at this point.
I fucking guarantee you that this isn't even about squeezing the last dome put of it, this is a direct attack in democracy
Not that the WP was such a great defender, but I bet good money that loads of these journalists will now be replaced with yes-man editors who all day just write what the regime wants.
Fuck fascism, fuck fascists
Can't this guy just go fuck his bridge troll my god what happened to her face wife and leave everyone alone?
