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 URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

The news comes one day after Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio, called the flag with the swastika “vile” and “deeply inappropriate” after the symbol was seen in one of his staffers’ offices in the background of a meeting. [...] Taylor denounced the symbol Wednesday, saying in a statement, "I condemn it in the strongest terms."

I hate the media.

I keep tellin' the youngsters too soon is too soon! Do they listen? No! Wait a minute... Is that camera on over there? Can people see and hear— [Adjusts tie and takes a deep breath] I want all Americans to know that the swastika is vile and deeply inappropriate. I condemn it in the strongest terms...

I really want someone prominent to start saying “bullshit” whenever one of these ghouls cries “I condemn!” It’s so fucking obvious they don’t mean it and are just doing it reflexively.

It seems that every MSM reporter in DC is a doofus or pretends to be. And the media gets so huffy and annoyed when the public starts yelling - "Stop taking diction! The GOP is lying - you dipshits!" It's a ridiculous and insane situation.

A few years from now people like Taylor will be openly proclaiming stuff like their belief in the national supremacy and dominance of the White Race. And the media's response will be - "How did we get here?" And when they answer their own question - they'll surely mention the damaging and toxic online atmosphere that stifles the discourse.
