Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
This story keeps getting reported every few days and I'm really starting to question it. Even if it's generally true, the fact that it keeps popping up as a story is really suspicious.
I did a search for it and couldn't find it posted. My apologies if this has already been posted here, I do make efforts to ensure I'm not doubling up on articles. If I missed it that's my fault.
Considering the article was written on the 6th, I find it hard to believe there's is a suspicious pattern of it popping up every few days.
A manual scan of the news community indicates this article has not been posted since the 6th. Nor another story like it.
I took that to mean it’s been released multiple times as a statement, not that you were sharing a duplicate.
Understood, I wasn't seeing articles discussing this angle either. Not that I'm challenging the perspective outright, I myself just haven't seen that to be the case. I haven't been as attentive to news recently too, so I very well could be wrong.
Edit: no bad blood here, I'm not taking anything as an accusation, don't want this misinterpreted.
I love the civil dialogue here, keep it up folks.
Correct.
Sorry, it’s not about you. The story just keeps popping up from different outlets. I apologize, I didn’t mean to suggest you personally had an ulterior motive, just that this is starting to sound like propaganda the media is falling for.
Please see my reply to another user for clarification. I don't know that simply because outlets are carrying the same message that it's propaganda, it could be that it's just information worth reporting on. But again I haven't been as deep into news as of recently. This doesn't strike me as propaganda personally (a larger comparison, for example, Sinclair outlets repeating the same script).
Edit: and no apology necessary, I wasn't taking your comment so harshly, all good :)
