  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

That doesn't really tell me anything. Is it a high number?

Who can blame them for that? Their government has been bombarding them and the world with propaganda for years. It is normal to doubt. It is best to doubt.

I imagine they were worried about their email servers failing under the deluge if they started the headline with "More Americans think". 🤌🏼
