Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Secret society?
"TPM was able to reveal the inner workings of the Society for American Civic Renewal in March using emails and documents largely obtained via public records"
More like, it's not a secret but no one was looking into at all... This is why this country is fucked. We're all too tired and broke to worry about looking into anything except our hobbies and leisure. Which it leaves to "real journalists" who then create articles with headlines like this lol. Even after we read it, no one will care.
I'm not doing anything to help here, but I'm too broke and tired and a new series just dropped plus I wanna get drunk and go to sleep.
You're welcome.
It's like reading my brain :(
Y'all have hobbies and leisure??
No, but I "look into them" occasionally so I can see what I'm missing out on whilst my life passes me by
Eh. The Freemasons and Skull and Bones are called secret societies but everyone knows what they do as well.
In the case of the Freemasons, for literal centuries. They're the most unsecret secret society ever... which is fine, because it's a lot of stupid ceremonies for what's basically just an excuse to get together and plan other activities. They're harmless. They're the guys who wear fezes and ride little motorcycles in parades throwing candy.
They're still supposedly a secret society though.
Pretty much. It's a Rotary Club with secret rituals.
