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.

LMAO I WAS JUST GONNA SAY
When it says India, all my suspicions go away of it not being true...
I immediately believe it. I'm sure you can fill that entire sub for a year with just one day's worth of indian newspapers.
The bird muttered "suckers" before taking off toward the northeast.
Eventually, it turned out the pigeon was an open-water racing bird from Taiwan
That's exactly what a Chinese pigeon spy would want you to think
This exact same thing happened with a painted pigeon from Pakistan except that time the ring had a phone number of the owner on it and India claimed it was secret code to communicate with terrorists: Pakistani villager urges India to return 'spy' pigeon
"It is not the first time a bird has come under police suspicion in India."
That's four or five pigeon years of hard time on the inside. They don't keep you that long unless you really rustle somebody's feathers which tells me he kept his beak shut. This guy's no stool pigeon.
Committing espionage is a dick move in bird law.
I wonder who that bird’s lawyer was?
That's actually a beautiful shot of a well cared for pigeon. This whole article is fucking nuts though haha.
