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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

MODERATORS
The spectacle of these shows is wild. Parking Wars, watch as people struggle to get their car back from a byzantine bureaucracy that they need to go to work the next day or their entire life might just spiral out of control. Dog the Bounty Hunter, watch as this coked up dude hunts poor people for sport in sanctioned bounties. Operation Repo, watch as we film a 100% fake show of people screaming and getting violent over repo workers gleefully stealing their stuff they need. Storage Wars, let's see how much money I can make selling someone's loss. Most trash reality that's gotten popular on A&E is predicated on just someone's suffering and exploitation and it's just normal to watch and be like "hehe, sucks to suck, I'll never be like that" when they're a paycheck away from being homeless themselves.
I seen few episodes, and they screamed "fake", especially the part where they were appraisning old TV's from 90's and broken electro tools for hundreds of dollars.
