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.
"That's an interesting admission" is such a perfect response, hahaha
Trump lawyers:
I'm still so pissed that The Peripheral was canncelled.
Me too honestly, then again, I've never forgiven Netflix for canceling the OA so I can hold a grudge.
And biscuits are better with gravy
God damnit….
One guy chuckling meets the bar for "laughter erupts"?
Breaking news, this just in: Journalist body-slammed by commentator for click-bait headline
Seriously. When did all these slammed/rebuked/savaged/destroyed headlines start showing up? I don't give a fuck what 3 random people on Twitter said about anyone.
Apparently they already did those kind of headlines in 1898

Interesting headline, but not exactly what I mean. I've just been really annoyed lately by headlines that use a very small group of people's reactions and extrapolate them out to imply that the majority of a group or population think that way.
Things like "X politician railed for X." There's nothing substantive in that statement. I want news, not journalists telling me the reactions of nobody I care about.
First step was when internet went mainstream and news papers had to compete with news online. Things got a lot more attention grabbing. Or at least more articles got clickbaity. Then came from social media, who loved to use emotions to drive engagement so you got a lot of articles with emotional attention grabbing language. Meanwhile there is a large wave of consolidation where small media companies are bought up by bigger ones, usually with political leanings, that then start pushing a message, an ideology held by a small group. All together you now have a small group spouting their opining everywhere with very attention grabbing emotional laden headlines.
Because facts don't matter anymore and news outlets noticed it's easier to get clicks. If necessary, sock puppet the handful of enraged Twitter user yourself, boom story.
Since 2016 there has been a massive uptick in bullshit like this.
It's the next-generation learning what they should have learned a long time ago.
Don’t forget eviscerated

Fucking modern journalism, man.
Trump-tied lawyer
Obviously "no awareness" is a job requirement.
Most truthful statement a Republican has ever made.
The greatest zen monk.
That guy's demeanor is obnoxious
