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.

When it comes to Project 2025 coverage BEFORE the election, I'm not sure I've ever seen a bigger case of blatant gaslighting in my life.
They fucking published their plans. But all during the election, the Lying Liars Party and donvict himself just acted like it wasn't a thing. That's expected - the Republicans and outlets like Faux/ONAN are just going to lie. That's who they are.
But the fucking "liberal media" kept doing this "some people think", "some people say" and blah blah type of thing. Almost making out like it was some conspiracy theory or that, sigh, "it's just those Democrats, being hysterical again, eyeroll". They did absolutely zero to explain to the American people who and what the Republicans are, and what these demons planned on doing to America. If anything, they did a lot to muddy the waters. The fourth estate is a total joke in this country.
Corporate media tycoons would benefit from oligarchy; they are the oligarchs. So long as they bend the knee.
I don’t think this is going to turn out the way these media tycoons thought it would. People are already fleeing from corporate media. And now the White House is supplanting them at press conferences with media outlets they have a stake in instead.
Their blacklist is just a list of people who happen to be black 🤔🤔🤔
Totally did Nazi that coming...
Night of the long knives shit if ever there was any.
we'll get these when bannon is killed my his former "friends"
Good. He's directly the reason my old WoW Guild went to shit. Lost two people I admired to gamergate. I hate that man on a personal level.
Imagine reading the word "woke" in a history book.

“Accountability”, fuck I hate that word. These days it’s basically only used by people who will never take responsibility for anything, ever.
Well good thing the senate just approved the author of 2025 to the office of management and budget. 🙄
I think we the people need to start making lists 2 weeks ago. We are behind, window of opportunity closing.
