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.
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.
Rules
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.
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.

MODERATORS
Don't forget, an important component of dictatorships is controlling the media
Trump can simply encourage violence against their employees and make them untenable in other ways. Like bring them to court at one of his bribed justices to cost them money
There's lots of ways to kill a company in a way that isn't obvious when you're a dictator
Just remember, Mafia bosses won't tell you they'll injure you. They use coercion and subtle threats
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.
Next they'll try to ban it.
They got that fancy new law to kill non-profits that I'm sure would be useful.
Morons. They think ‘defund’ means ‘get rid of’ because they themselves can’t exist without grift and bailouts.
This bullshit just got me to donate $25. Thanks for reminding me you crazy fucking cunt
In December, they tend to have matching offers. So I'll be donating then.
NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded
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.

Good choice!

Yeah, I know. But it was my stooge.
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.
Be the change you want to see. Post more global articles yourself.
Dilution is the best solution
NPR has an obvious liberal bias. Ive listened for over 20 years and it is the truth. It is what it is.
NPR has remained exactly where it was, politically, for decades.
It's the world you're noticing that has moved significantly further to the right.
I've listened for over 21 years and they have an obvious bias against unsubstantiated claims.
If one party says 2+2=5 then are math teachers making a political statement by saying otherwise?
Sadly, yes. See climate change.
How can I trust my own eyes when they have a liberal bias
As the saying goes: It is a well known fact that reality has a liberal bias.
Unfortunately, reality has a liberal bias these days
More fund drives.
damn this is uncool
