Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

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

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

And that’s basically it!

What a weird thing.

So someone made up a rumor that this Sophia person was dating Jenner. Sophia publicly and transphobically denied this. Sophia is a known member of a transphobic group associated with the Republican party.

Who the fuck started this weird ass rumor? Why are we talking about this? How is this news at all?

It’s funny how many “how is this news?” complaints I get on this community. There’s a reason I put these types of stories on this community

Totally fair. For what it's worth, my comment wasn't directed at your post -- the title is totally oniony and perfect for this community.

My bafflement was more directed at the article itself.

This community is for serious hard hitting journalism. That's why it's called not The Onion.
