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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

Thanks for the summation of your reply. Headlines are usually bolded and in bigger type than the body text, though..
And there sre hundreds if not thousands from which to choose. The media choose the ones that best fit the narrative they've already written.
Nope. They are incentivized to deliver the results that their customers want, regardless of accuracy.
Even if doing so consistently was possible (which it isn't), that wouldn't be the most profitable thing to do. See above on incentive.
Nope, I understand full well the difference between the popular vote, which is what's polled, and the electoral vote which is a big part of the aforementioned system being broken in favor of the American Fascist Party AKA the GOP.
What a garbage response. "There is a profit motive, checkmate" is all you've said.
This you?
You either have the reading comprehension of a toddler or the capacity to argue in good faith of Ben Shapiro. Either way, I'm done indulging you. Have the day you deserve.
