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, 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.

The notion that 45% approve of what’s actually happening is appalling.

"It's easier to a fool a man than to convince him he'd been fooled." - Mark Twain

It's no coincidence that Tom Sawyer is satire about the ignorance of Southern Whites.

45 percent is consistent with the cultural rot that is destroying America from within. America is still in material terms arguably the most gifted nation on earth. All the problems stem from cultural rot, and that has now manifest in political rot.

45% of Americans are imbeciles

Unfortunately yes

I'm not disappointed in trump. He's doing exactly what I thought he would do, and exactly what he said he was gonna do.

I'm disappointed in my fellow Americans for voting for, or not voting against him.

We already created a free trade zone here in North America. The Orange Turd is a coward and an Economic idiot.

Since when do popularity polls even matter for a dictator. Does Kim Jong Un care what his people think? As long as he can prevent them from rising up in opposition he’s golden.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Kim Jong In has 100% approval rating amongst the living tho.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd also like to vent about him being a FELON RAPIST and TRAITOR to our Constitution, laws, and values.
