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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

This is almost the exact same article that was posted last week, except this time from Reuters instead of JPost. They both reference polls done by Maariv, but once again fail to link to actual poll results. Am I taking crazy pills here for wanting to see the actual poll? Wtf is up with modern journalism?
Nobody wants to pay for news; which means nobody gets paid well to report it. So here we are in this dumpster fire of modern journalism.
It's also held to literally no standards whatsoever, so unlike scientific journals they don't need to show all of the source data or list references.
More like people stopped paying for the news because it became a dumpster fire. You got confused there my friend.
Nah, people are getting exactly what they want. People don't want boring real news. People want inflammatory headlines and want drama and bloodshed. Putting this on media is silly. If people wanted the boring real unbiased news they'd be producing it. People want news that agrees with their world view.
Same old story: you give people no choice and when they make the only choice you left them you use that to justify your actions.
There is choice??? There are literally thousands upon thousands of news sites. There are so many options. But the successful ones are successful because it is what people want. Isn't that hard to realize. Conspiracy brain rot is too strong these days.
I think you got lost in the sauce. You don't even know what you responded to.
IDF have way too much god damned influence is the problem with modern journalism
Yeah, they're putting a lot of old conspirancies under a brand new light. Too much control on the news environment.
It took Joe Biden to travel to Israel to Scooby Doo the Middle East and tell us who the real perpetrator of the conflict is.
FWIW the times of israel also reported on this.
Did they link to the poll or just talk about the results?
Just talk absolut the results as well
Modern journalism is about being first and the CTA is user interaction. So basically the popular method is to create as extreme headline as possible as early as possible without any need for proof.
It's a pile of horse garbage
Honestly, no news sites actually like the poll unless they're the ones that do it. (Youll sometimes see Fox link to a fox poll for example)
I dont know why this is. Maybe they don't want you to leave their site?
I don't find that to be the case. I always make it a point to check the actual polls instead of relying on the headlines, and it's usually pretty easy to find. For some reason, this particular poll has been reported multiple times in the last week and I've never been able to find a link to it. Last week someone even looked at the Israeli website of the people conducting the poll and still couldn't find it.
