@jordanlund@lemmy.world just removed my post from !politics@lemmy.world because the linked article wasn’t a “news” source.

The sidebar makes no mention of accepted news sources. And honestly, fuck that fascist nonsense. How the fuck can it be justified to remove posts from articles made by fucking non-profits?

I guess @jordanlund@lemmy.world is also saying that since they disagree with the premise of the article, it should be removed.

People need to be aware that !politics@lemmy.world should be avoided.

This is why I also posted the same thing to !usa@midwest.social

Trump is openly committing treason. He must be impeached and removed from office.

    For 2. it would be a piece of journalism not a call to action. “Group X calls to impeach trump” is news. Posting group x’s call to impeach directly is not. The (alleged) lack of the authors opinion is what matters.

    Its a very subtle and pedantic difference IMO. FWIW Jordan has even more arbitrary definitions of what is news and what is a blog.

      I thought news was supposed to be objective? Now I am only allowed to share things with people if someone else inserts their opinion into it?

      Wouldn’t it make more sense to just share the source of the thing that people are going to form opinions about? Especially when written as a actual article as defined by Merriam-Webster?

      To me, this is thought policing and narrative control.

        Yeah news is supposed to be objective and you were basically posting an opinion piece. Its a silly rule that every news thread has to be laundered through some “objective journalist institution” instead of just posting direct sources.

        Jordan was definitely thought policing you though. He made it obvious when he argued against it while also banning it.

        Really no news is ever objective. From your own posts about section certainly isn’t here to be objective. To be clear it is a bias I agree with.
