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.

There is a free spot on my bingo card the size of Texas. And Florida.
Actually, we should give up Bingo and start a new game called Headlines. It'll be like Cards Against Humanity, except the black cards will all be "____ arrested for ".
The white cards will all just be various individuals or descriptors like "Hulk Hogan" and "Texas Megachurch youth leader".
After everyone plays, you do a search for the headline and the most recent exact match wins.
I spent more time thinking about this than it's worth, but I'm committed now.
Ok but no "Diddy" card that's just going to be OP
Wild how it’s not a drag queen.
It's always the ones you most suspect
Surprising absolutely no one. It's a trope at this point that megachurch pastors and staff are sexual deviants and pedophiles.
Keep your kids safe. Don't let them go to church.
Conservatism and pedophilia. Name a more iconic duo.
Ooooh I'm gonna have to go with Conservatism and racism. But pedophilia is probably a close third after misogyny.
Abilene Texas is a wretched hive of Christian nationalism and reactionary entitlement.
I only drive out there because I have family there; my niece was a victim of another pedo pastor there.
