@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.

    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.

      Free Speech For People works to renew our democracy and our United States Constitution for we the people. Founded on the day of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, Free Speech For People envisions a democratic process in which all people have an equal voice and an equal vote. We advance this mission with the following innovative, effective, and complementary strategies:

      • We fight for the right to vote; for free and fair elections, for reliable and secure voting systems, and for the bedrock promise of political equality for all;
      • We draft and promote key constitutional amendments to restore our democracy by establishing a constitutional right to vote, majority rule (one person-one vote) in the election of the president and vice president, and a constitutionally-mandated public campaign finance system and strict limits on private political contributions and spending; eliminating the judicially fabricated doctrine of corporate constitutional rights; and implementing the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment; -We engage in legal advocacy in the courts to advance a new jurisprudence on money in politics and to confront the misuse of the U.S. Constitution to claim corporate exemptions from our laws;
      • We develop and advocate for model laws and other tools to challenge big money in politics and to make corporations responsible to the public; and We challenge corruption at the highest levels of our government and lead bold campaigns for accountability under the law.
