World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Better get used to it. The oligarchs are swallowing up all the media companies in the US.
They're actually already basically done, since like a couple of months ago or so. It's kind of pretty very extremely fucked up!
MS Now/MSN seems to have honest reporting (at least some).
They are establishment Dem propaganda. I've noticed recent instances where they seem to be somewhat complicit or cagey with their language regarding all the fucked up shit that's been going on. I.e. using language like "some people argue," instead of plainly stating obviously illegal or fucked up shit. Their rebranding to MS Now was specifically to distance its brand from be a "resistance brand," according to the CEO.
MSN is owned and operated by Microsoft Corporation.
MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), is a cable news channel owned by Versant Media Group.
Versant Media Group is an independent publicly traded company, after they spun off from Comcast.
Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts and his family retain significant share holder control.
He's a billionaire that paid tons of money to both parties (let's pause and think about this for a moment because as obvious as it is to all of us, we tend to forget that it is not normal to live in a two party state no more than it is living in a one party state), leaning mostly republican.
So, I guess, as billionaires go, he's not the worst offender. But, as billionaires go, he will always do what is financially expedient- that's why any rich person pays both sides, so that regardless who comes out on top YoY, they win.
They've been gone a while sadly, most haven't noticed.
