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.

Is asking for more evidence when a really small group is the only source for a really attention grabbing story actually sea lioning?
We're done here. Bark elsewhere sealion.
Any other source. Please. Ask yourself why there's not any other source.
Please.
Please. Ask yourself why a publication with an unblemished five year record would choose for this to be the combo breaker.
Please.
If you think this is true, shout it from the mountains.
It's incredibly attention grabbing and needs to be headlines tomorrow.
We are, we upvoted it. Your harping on about another source is just noise. Go away.
You seem incensed so why don't you take the lead?
Can you show me evidence of where you're shouting about this? Why should I believe your shouting is coming from a reputable source? I can't find a single other person making the requests for evidence that you've made in this thread, etc. Ad inf.
Because Brownsville is a city of less than 200k people? Do you know about the treatment center in Rochester, MN that was declared a public nuisance? Find me a new source please, I don't trust the Post Bulletin for vague unspecified reasons
Because it’s a story that just broke about a kid in a small town.
Give it some time to filter out more. In the meantime we have a credible source providing us with this, which already counts for everything.
Yes and your blatant misrepresentation of your own comments doesn't help your case either. Neither do all your self-deleted comments after being called out for your BS.
It's local news and like most local news isn't covered elsewhere.
They’re looking for someone to confirm their biases, not actually looking for the truth. It’s pretty clear by their responses that all they’ll accept is someone stating that they’re a far left org.
I pointed out that it’s an openly left-leaning news site, and they just completely ignored me. Possibly because I at the same time asked them to explain what exactly made it “propaganda,” and they’ve been avoiding doing that like the plague.
Please. I'll shut up and be horribly ashamed if you find me another source for this story.
Dude. Your behavior here is really weird. People are responding to your unhinged flailing and trying to explain why the one source we currently have appears to be reputable. They are giving you reasons to believe that this source is very likely to be telling the truth while you wait for confirmation from other sources. You appear to have gone from a possibility you’ve identified (the possibility that this article is all made up) and inflated the probability of that being true to crazytown levels.
You seem to see conspiracy in the lack of a second source. There is a much more mundane explanation for the lack of that source you desperately need: this story just broke today (Friday). It takes a reputable source more than an hour or two to do their own research and verification and write their own article. Give it time. Yes, verifying news through multiple sources is a good thing. Yes, when there is more published about this, we will be better equipped to judge the accuracy of this article. But you seem to think journalism happens automatically and instantly.
