It’s not a stupid rule, posters are welcome to post articles, but they need to keep their opinion out of the headline.
They can add it to the body or as a top level comment, but allowing a headline change would just result in a front page of personal opinions and not actual news.
Why is that bad? Like, legitimately. The original titles are already opinions. They are the opinions of the editors and those that spend millions of dollars to ensure their narratives and bias are favored in the headlines. All the rule does is empower that influence more. Is that the goal? I would hope not. I would hope it’s more about being naive about how editors work narratives through titles.
The article isn’t being changed. Literally just the title. So, I don’t really see the problem in users having the ability to share an article with their own opinion as the title of the post.
I mean, if you want a community that is just “Trump does stupid shit - AGAIN!” [email protected] is right there.
Politics is about News Articles, not personal opinions.
I replied to your other comment. I don’t want that. I think I explained what I meant in my response there. So I’ll end the thread here. Sorry for the double reply initially.
Wild how difficult this seems to be to grasp. If you want to editorialize the title c/shitposts is right there!
Bonus - If the opinion was one the disagreed with, they would demand it be removed. 😉
This is why we have the rule, no editorializing. It’s not “No Editorializing, unless we personally agree.”
idk i just have this crazy notion posts shouldn’t be deleted because it contains opinions someone disagrees with. that seems very intolerant and frankly immature to me.
if i just wanted a pile of headlines from mainstream media outlets i’d use an rss feed
Opinions are fine, just not in the headline.
wild how you can’t recognize how stupid the rule is
Wild how you can’t recognize how sensible it is. This isn’t the only community with that requirement.
Count your downvotes and get back to me…
seeing something as commonplace does not make it sensible. thought you’d be smart enough not to make such a fallacious argument
and your downvotes mean nothing to me, i’ve seen what makes you upvote. also, downvotes are disabled on my instance, as they should be on all instances tbh. and as far as i know you may have a hundred sockpuppets. wouldn’t surprise me even a little bit
It’s a basic convention in most news-related communities. In general it tends to favor more grounded and factual conversation on the actual topic of the article, rather than on the OP’s take. This includes debating the choice of words in the headline and the bias it introduces.
What’s wrong with “Why Are Some Republican Lawmakers Hellbent on Preserving Child Marriage?” ? Is it too favorable ? Too unfavorable ? Idk man it seems to just state the point of the article, i don’t think the editorialized title is much better in any objective sense.
You are free of course to create /c/editorialized_news or whatever, which doesn’t enforce this “stupid” rule, and we’ll see how it fares in terms of the quality of discussion.
it’s a stupid rule. the opinions of article authors are no more worthy than the opinions of the people who post the links, and if anyone wants to know what the title is they can just click the link.
and it is literally leading you into a situation where you’d rather enforce some bureaucratic bullshit over raising awareness of lawmakers who voted in favor of child abuse.
