Well, Rule 4 says, "4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source." And the source didn't put the country in the title.
This indeed raises an important issue with our current rules. I will be discussing a potential change to those rules with other mods to make it more clear that, if the article isn't very clear, you are allowed to alter the title (within reason).
If you could edit the title to make clear this is about the US, that would be great (:
Sorry for the confusion.
I added a [USA] tag. I hope that works.
Yes, thank you very much.
The rule should probably be that it's required to be as descriptive or more as the title of the article. If you want to edit out click-bait, that should be allowed. As long as it's still just as descriptive it should be fine. (I understand this would be hard to enforce though.)
Can you put something in the sidebar to clarify whether this community is primarily for US news? We do have the worldnews community explicitly for non-US news.
This community is for all news at the moment, not primarily for US news.
There's the rules and there's courtesy.
Perfect. I have a 1-on-1 meeting with my manager during that time.
Stare them dead in the eye and growl, "What did you DO?!?"
"That must be the President of the United States calling me."
No, it's not a national conspiracy to infect people with nanoparticles.
Lol
The fact that even needed to be said is concerning.
Of course not! This is how the Greys mind control us. Then they go back into their hollow Earth!

Noo usatoday cant have us articles, I'm inbred please be understanding
Cool. Another alert that will make it more likely that I'll ignore an actual alert.
My phone keeps sending me amber alert/silver alert messages from the other side of the state. I live in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. I get these alerts from El Paso. El Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to me. Las Cruces, just on the other side of the TX/NM border from El Paso, won't get an alert but I will.
I’ll be in a status meeting with my Canadian colleagues. I sense an opportunity to mess with them, here.
"Whoot was that eh?"
"The American call to arms. It has been a pleasure to know all of you in times of peace. I hope you all fair well and survive the battles to come. I suggest you surrender your petroleum products to the embassy before the conquest reaches here, that is your best chance at survival."
And just walk out of the room whistling The Star-Spangled Banner.
We test the same system in Canada a couple of times a year. They'll be familiar with it.
Ours is a lot different in sound and use, but those who live near the border will also be very familiar with the American EAS.
Everyone in Canada who has cable TV knows what the American EAS broadcast warning sounds like.
Alright, the missiles aren't gonna hit Hawaii, got it
No, but they will hit California. Last time was a test for this time.
Good. Now I can bring a pair of pants that day because I shit myself where ever that annoying noise goes off
Did anyone else read it as 4:20 for a second and think it was a joke at first? Just me? Okay.
