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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

Which is a scandal. In the truest meaning of the word. The rainbow press may have diluted the meaning, but still
Might I suggest you open up a dictionary and look up the words connotation and denotation. And while you're at it, how about reading up on how the media uses passive language to cover up for the police all the damn time
What is the rainbow press?
Any press that dares to mention anyone who isn't cis, white and christian is a positive light.
Translation error from me from German. I meant tabloids.
There is no "but still". Here's the thing about language - it is constantly changing. Words change their meanings all the time. I cannot go to the 18th century and use modern vernacular and not be misunderstood, nor could I go to the 22nd century and use it and not be misunderstood. Quit acting like English is some static thing that hasn't changed. You're showing exactly how ignorant and uneducated you really are, even without having to use such an ignorant term as "rainbow press".
Wow. Really nice. Thing is, English is not my native language and I therefore am
A) influenced by my native language when it comes to the more nuanced meanings of words
B) speak without the set of ideas in mind you seem to have attributed me with because I literally do not belong into your political system
C) made a translation error with the term "rainbow press" for tabloids because
D) English is not my native language
E) have not made any political statement or anything to be opposed that strongly
But yeah, calling a foreigner "uneducated" for being not on the same page as you regarding the evolution of words in your language is a really educated move, good Sir. I, the lowly foreign peasant bow before your superior education, good Sir. I am so sorry, good Sir...
If the press diluted the meaning, then they need to use a different word.
Brave Cave horror or terror, perhaps. Monstrosity. Abomination.
Scandal is such a weak word. Might as well call it the Brave Cave no-no.
police were have found to have made an oopsie
