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.

BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67424064
Aljazeera English: https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/16/11/2023/al-shifa-hospital-building-destroyed-people-taken-to-unknown-areas
This is from their live coverage today so it's not possible to link to single updates on their website but that link mirrors it. If you go to the AlJazeera live updates page and scroll down enough, you should be able to find it.
ooh, the bbc~ they've made so many mistakes with reporting this ongoing conflict they just can't be trusted to be accurate. They said that IDF was shooting medics in the hospital. They said that the IDF bombed a hospital. They said that Israelis set fire to a mosque when they didn't, etc~
Al Jazeera too! They most definitely cannot be trusted to be factual and impartial. They have Clear bias and Poor credibility. They are funded entirely by the Qatari government. The same Qatar government that houses Hamas leadership. The same Qatar that meets with media mongrels and funds twitter. The same twitter that is notoriously known for being astroturfed.
Propaganda is everywhere, and anyone can fall for it!!! Hatsune Miku recommends Reuters, AP, and announcements by the EU and UN for your news regarding the conflict. Alternatively, you can view this active war-zone map, which congregates footage and announcements. (Remember to take both announcements from IDF and Gaza with a grain of salt unless it is also announced by the UN)
in fact the UN juuust now said to watch out for misinformation! and supplied a handy lil' guide!
About the BBC link:
lol buddy seriously, are you unhappy that they do good journalism? That they correct their mistakes? Go read all the other reports from Reuters. Didn't the IDF kill one of their photographers earlier? 😬 😬
Good Journalism is not making any mistakes when they're reading off a reuters report. BBC wasn't in the vicinity, they were literally reading off a piece of paper and still failed to do that.
Feel free to link that
I don't think you understand what good journalism is.
