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, 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.

Editorizing generally makes things less accurate. I assume you dislike it when a far right publication editorializes a headline, yes?
There is no such thing as objective journalism.
I would prefer journalists write what they actually think and feel then to try to hide behind creative word choice to influence readers.
I wouldn't say Epstein had sex with underage women, I would say he raped children.
Hey, farm all the fake internet points you want. It seems silly bordering on infantile to me, but what do I know? Maybe throw in some extra "slams" for good measure haha.
Farming internet points on checks notes Lemmy?
I'm not sure what you're implying.
I don't think it's silly to share the news of the crimes of a fascist regime.
I don't think it is infantile to call things by the words they actually are.
I will continue to do this, I dont need your approval.
I agree with your first and last sentences, but that second one is iffy. In the example above, you're kind of making stuff up to suit your narrative in some of your edits. "As they actually are" is overselling some of it. It would be like changing "School encourages students to stay hydrated" to "Government education facility pressures children to consume dihydrogen monoxide". It's not strictly wrong, but it's also a worse title than the original, and arguably misleading.
Do you see what I mean?
You are not worth debating. I bet you didn't even read the article I posted.
You are just going on about how I shouldn't make a comment about what I think is happening in the format of a headline.
I've added a tag to your name to remind me not to take you seriously as anything more than a troll. Have a day.
