The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Reminder that 80% of people don't read past the headline - most people will believe the lie even if they only see it here. News outlets know this, so the headline should be "Trump breaks the law and commits election fraud with false claims about payments to voters" or whatever.
