      It’s Mississippi and he’s black , they’ve always been like this.

      Whats shocking is it was reported, the south suppresses journalism worse than Russia, it’s partly where the nazis learned it from.

        Not worse than Russia, no. Out of curiosity do you have any recent examples of a story suppressed in Mississippi? Because I can name a few for Russia, such as the attacks on Kharkiv showing aerial images of the city from before the attack to mislead viewers in Russia into thinking they hadn’t just bombed the shit out of a major city.

    As an aside: what a terrible website. Even loads the whole page and hides it behind a read more button, for no reason because it’s already loaded the content.

      The read more button is just to track if you in fact want to read more

        It’s already trivially easy to track scrolling. I think more nefarious than that. I think it’s so that they force “engagement” on their site, since clicking a button counts as a user action.

          You can scroll without reading. This ensures you care about reading the article

          Scrolling is still less voluntary than clicking. It’s a good tactic to monitor engagement instead of just page views.

      Might be a script or something. Use Firefox with Ublock and NoScript. I don’t see any button.

        If you go into your settings for uBlock Origin, there’s an option to have it block js. Someone on Lemmy told me that recently and I stopped using NoScript after that since it became redundant

    Trump should have been in jail pending trial for Jan 6th, the day Biden took office.
