Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Very interesting how left leaning entertainment (daily show, etc) is so much more informative than right wing "journalism".

I used to think Daily Show was informative when I was in college a few decades ago. I don't know if I'd call it that now.

Take the 'enhanced' version of Daily Show (Last Week Tonight) for example. It seems very informative at face value but if Oliver ever talks about a topic you have any depth of knowledge in, you realize how reductive it is.

The US doesn't have many (any?) legitimate TV news outlets anymore. Most would be best off reading AP or Reuters directly.

Literally everything has some form of bias. Journalists try their best (or in the case of right wing media, they don't) but they're as susceptible as any of us.
