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.

Wow CNN. Tone deaf much?
CNN is DNC propaganda just like Fox news is RNC propaganda.
No it isn't.
Presenting independently verifiable facts in a way that bolsters your perspective is not the same as making up stories and using entirely false data to incite your listeners.
I bet fox news watchers say the exact same thing.
Not the ones I've spoken to.
Conservatives won't usually meet a challenging topic head on, they try to avoid and misdirect from rather than address an issue.
It boils down to a fundamental difference in perspective and ultimately behavior.
When conservatives are presented with information, even completely made up stories, that agree with their preconceived notions, they accept the story regardless of the logic or substance of the story. Once information that disagrees with their preconceived notions arises, they reject the story regardless of the logic or substance because it isn't something they've learned before.
When liberals are presented with information, they accept or reject the story based on the available substantiated information and how it fits into what they have learned so far.
This is the process behind what fundamentally makes a "conservative" and a "liberal".
Conservatives are inherently afraid of challenges to their worldview and as a result, resist change simply for the sake of protecting themselves as long as possible.
Liberals are also inherently afraid of challenges to their worldview, but persist in discovering the truth and apply what they've learned to their behavior because of the benefits that context, understanding and new knowledge might bring about.
Jesus dude.... do you hear yourself?
Figuratively?
