- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Newspaper serve two purposes: spreading information and making sure that the population carries along with the political decisions being made.
For everything that you're outraged about, there's 3 things that are more important that you have no idea about, that you have never heard of, because the media doesn't report it. They don't need to lie, just not forward some information. There's no way to prove it either since it's technically not a lie. Just misrepresentation of information.
I experienced this firsthand last week when I watched live as congress voted to hold the Clinton's in criminal contempt of Congress, then failed to see a single news outlet publish the information. Feels like I've been gaslit.
