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.

It's Mississippi and he's black , they've always been like this.
Whats shocking is it was reported, the south suppresses journalism worse than Russia, it's partly where the nazis learned it from.
Not worse than Russia, no. Out of curiosity do you have any recent examples of a story suppressed in Mississippi? Because I can name a few for Russia, such as the attacks on Kharkiv showing aerial images of the city from before the attack to mislead viewers in Russia into thinking they hadn't just bombed the shit out of a major city.
Look, they used to give black people speedy and public trials and everyone got all pissed. What do you people want?

to help visualize, that’s over 2 and a half years
As an aside: what a terrible website. Even loads the whole page and hides it behind a read more button, for no reason because it’s already loaded the content.
The read more button is just to track if you in fact want to read more
It's already trivially easy to track scrolling. I think more nefarious than that. I think it's so that they force "engagement" on their site, since clicking a button counts as a user action.
You can scroll without reading. This ensures you care about reading the article
Scrolling is still less voluntary than clicking. It’s a good tactic to monitor engagement instead of just page views.
Might be a script or something. Use Firefox with Ublock and NoScript. I don't see any button.
If you go into your settings for uBlock Origin, there's an option to have it block js. Someone on Lemmy told me that recently and I stopped using NoScript after that since it became redundant
Ooh thank you
Reminds me of this pair of brothers who spent 8 years in county jail for civil contempt
Just read the thing. Damn! The level of unnecessary cruelty makes my blood boil.
I thought this is the exact case for why you guys love your guns so much?
reminds me of The Trial by Kafka
of courses its missisipi
