Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Gotta stoke the hatred, even when there’s no news. Can’t have their viewers cooling off and developing minds of their own…

Being a Fox News producer must be exhausting. Like, you gotta look all around for the slightest possible thing to anger and scare people. I'm sure the producer was at Target walking down the board game aisle and was like "oooohhh a new Scrabble? I'm gonna call this woke!"

It's easy, any white supremacist can do it.

  1. Black people are doing a thing, segment on why this is bad and frightening.

1a. It is somehow news to just observe a specific black person and get mad: "black man wears a suit," "black man eats mustard."

  1. Something is jeopardizing white cishet Christians' ability to say the N-word without consequences, segment on why this is horrific persecution.

You can just make shit up as well, since your audience is 100% white supremacist dimwits.
