General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That is the newspaper's job sometimes. Offer another view of the facts with a bias different from your own.
If no one is pissed off at the newspaper then the newspaper isn't doing their job.
News' job is to report facts. If one person says it's raining and another says it's not the journalist should go outside and check, not just report "he said, she said" bullshit.
Never heard of an opinion piece? Reporting people's takes on a situation is very much part of journalism along with factual news.
When it's done well, it can be really powerful and informative.
This is not an opinion piece.
I never said it was.
