News
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, 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.

Didn't we already know all this?
Some people plug their ears when they hear anything unpleasant. This is extremely unpleasant to read about, so it needs to be repeated over and over again.
I have read about it before, but I still can't really understand it. It is difficult to imagine how something like this happens without ever having been in such a situation. It's a natural defense mechanism to downplay the severity of it in an attempt to create the belief that it can be avoided if it should happen to yourself. That's were victim blaming cones from too. "It won't happen to be because I would have done this instead".
The more detailed descriptions help me better grasp the horror of it and how the victims got lured into the situations.
Democrats are a bit like Internet Explorer. Slow, painfully behind, only listening to the people's demands when a court orders it to, constantly forcing itself on you when you don't want it, and sometimes it's all you got.
you forget one - owned by corporate interests
Aww and it was so obvious too
We absolutely did.
Well yeah, and we also know there's been no consequences.
There are never consequences, until there are.
I guess it depends on how you define we in that sentence. If you mean you and I yeah we knew that. If you mean the public as a whole? No unfortunately not. Lot of them are not paying attention.
That's why you have to keep saying it over and over and over again. Keep writing the stories. Keep up the investigation. Put it on the news every single night. You can't rely on something being said once and reaching the General Public. It takes a lot to reach them. You got to pound it into their brains until they know it in their bones.
I have been to comedy shows where they make jokes about trump fucking his daughter. Its not like no one has heard of it.
