    Despite this glowing endorsement the BBC can be kind of shit at times, especially with political stuff. But the reporting on US stuff is normally ok because they don’t have any dog in that race.

      Shes not wrong. The BBC is a lot of shit. I once watched one of their reporters LIVE taking a side in the debate of Scottish independence, when their only job was to give each side a fair amount of time to have their say. The guy would pull the mic away from the SNP dude, and let the labour dude waffle on uninterrupted.

      And thats before you get to the decades of paedophile cover ups. In 2013 a Freedom of Information request revealed: “152 allegations of sexual abuse … against 81 BBC employees and freelancers” in a six‑month period. During operation Yewtree, over 90 people were arrested in connection with child sexual abuse. The BBC is like the current white house. Full of paedos and those who protect them.

      It’s spoken, so it would be slander. Libel is printed.

      But they wouldn’t really have much to gain by suing. They’re not losing business because of this.

    Whenever I see things like this it reminds me of Ben Shapiro accusing Andrew Niel of being on the left instead answering the question.

      You’re not measuring by what percentage of Trump stories are positive/negative, the only metric that matters to him.

      This just begs the question of who “Newsguard” is and why anyone should trust them.

      There’s dozens of conservative sites that do these ratings for right wing crap and give them high scores, too.

        They have an About page that links to who they are and the criteria they use.

        Just because conservatives have a shitty evil version doesn’t mean every rating is untrustworthy.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
    • Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don’t allow those links either.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
