What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

these books are covert bribes. as a lawmaker you do whatever some large money bag tells you to do, then said money bag is distributed to you with fake sales on your fake book. Ez already laundered money.

they will always turn a profit, because it's just a money transfer mechanism

Books are just an avenue for money laundering typically for politicians.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I don't think that there's a market for that.
