    Guess it’s a good thing that NPR barely gets any funding from the federal or state governments then. All this does is get people to donate more to PBS and NPR.

    NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded

      Didn’t Nice Polite Republicans already do that?

      I stopped listening to them back when they brought an insurance executive on to talk about how great health insurance is at “providing healthcare”, but they just need more money.

      They’re nearly as bad as NYT when it comes to pretending to be the left, but only platforming the center and right.

      Ah yes, and then have a 2 part series on how the Dems lost by pandering to the left, and how those values in society are long gone.

    I just cancelled my New York Times subscription and I’ll be sending that money to NPR now. The grey lady has become a corporate stooge anyway.

    I wish we could ban news of the USA from “global” news. There are enough communities for US news.

      Like it or not, the US is part of the globe.

      Until tagging comes to Lemmy there isn’t much we can do. USA is part of the world so excluding them is not an option. And I would say the community has a healthy balance of news from the rest of the world, so it’s not just posts about the USA.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.


Rules

This community is moderated in accordance with the principles outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which emphasizes the right to freedom of opinion and expression. In addition to this foundational principle, we have some additional rules to ensure a respectful and constructive environment for all users.

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. No social media posts

Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.
