Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It's always a bit strange to see right-wing douchebags try to use subversive techniques like this. This is him trying to Borat the situation. But it just looks entitled and guilty. I guess maybe someone should tell him, people like seeing someone speak truth-to-power, not using power to crush truth? Can he tell the difference?
I guess for the next four years we'll see all kinds of people feel emboldened to act their most awful like this.
More than that, he had his lawyers threaten the BBC investigators after they left.
Pretty sure it's the other way around, a lot of people much prefer crushing the truth for an agenda. I mean, trump was elected again
When have we seen anyone else do something like this?
