Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They want so bad to pin this on trans people

Edit: Axios just published this info. Seems like there’s some truth to it https://archive.is/20250913234558/https://www.axios.com/2025/09/13/kirk-suspect-transgender-roommate

Though he grew up in a largely conservative Mormon family, Robinson was not registered with either major political party and appeared to have become infatuated by the far left in recent years, according to the authorities. “It’s very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told The Wall Street Journal in a brief interview published Friday.

Jfc, this is so goddamn irresponsible. I know, the source and all, just goddamn this is infuriating that they can just post / announce this shit without it being "clear"

All you need is a source. It’s National enquirer shit, except instead of two random ass people telling you Elvis is still alive living underneath Las Vegas you have the governor of a Utah with a clear agenda running his mouth about trans people and since he’s a notable “reputable” source you report it. Journalism truly in shambles. I mean you are just reporting what comes out of the guys mouth but you can also choose to report some things and not other things and the fact that they decided to report his “this is leftists” thing with no real evidence they are just showing their whole asses

This is literally their job except usually it's just playing stenographer for cops.

Wall St Journal - owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Who also owns Fox News and the NY Post. Additionally practically all of British and Australian media too.

Singularly the scumbag most responsible for all the lies, defamation, libel and slander used to brainwash Anglo chuds worldwide.

The MO has always been to get ahead of a story with the most inflammatory RW reactionary bullshit possible. He’s perfected the Hate Machine/Fear Factory.
