Objective, factual news you can rely on. Or at least as close to it as you can get in this day and age.

Rules

Kindness Always

No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member. Egregious use of logical fallacies will be considered trolling and dealt with accordingly.

No Bigotry

This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. “It’s just a joke” is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.

No Spam, NSFW, Or Other Disruptive Content or Behavior

Please respect our community and don’t use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.

Reputable News Articles Only

Posts can only be links to reputable news sources. Sources that are or at least try to be objective are the only ones allowed. Propaganda rags like Breitbart and RT are not allowed.

The only exception to this rule are meta posts discussing serious issues with the sub itself, and for those:

Please Tag All Discussions About The Sub with [Meta]

Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it’ll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.

Mod word is final

Please for the love of all that is holy, don’t argue with mods in the comments. If you have an issue, take it to DMs.

Rules subject to change based on need.
