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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

Sorry... you think it's unreasonable for me to expect you to back up your claims with evidence? Are you some sort of omniscient god who speaks only in gospel truths?
Yeah, yet again that is just literally not how anything works in the real world. You seem to be used relying on echo chambers and smugness to get by. At the end of the day this one sided "debate" has gone on plenty long enough; anyone who hasn't already locked into one side or the other has more than enough to read through and realize that after a day and a half you have made literally zero statements whatsoever to actually support anything you've tried to posit. 100% of your arguments are simply a lazy meta attack directed at me with an astounding amount of direct avoidance of anything resembling actual support for your position. If there is actually anyone on Lemmy that is genuinely open to honest discussion and debate with an open mind they have already seen your responses and mine and taking this any further isn't necessary to convince them seeing as your responses have bolstered my views nearly as much as anything I've said. Since talking in circles is starting to get boring and you've already proved my point, I'll just leave it there. Have a nice weekend and Merry Christmas.
Backing up your claims is not how things work? You mean people should just be able to say whatever they want and be believed?
I mean I know that's how Trump feels. I just didn't think anyone here would feel that way.
