Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

this is a great article, and somewhat unrelated, do all publications not have built-in grammar checks for their articles?

"...crime they were later they later exonerated..."

i keep seeing worse and worse typos, although it's difficult to call them typos at this point, how does such a clusterfuck happen these days?

There used to be copy editors. Copy editors cost money. Now, there are no copy editors.

That and research/investigative journalism were the first things to get the axe after the major corporations bought most of the media outlets.

It's just another money extraction device now

AI training on itself after training on the collective random grammar mistakes of humans for all of time.

Yeah, it’ll make the CEOs richer alright.

even my phone keyboard would have corrected this

Execs:

we can save so much money if we just let “AI” proofread things!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Generous to assume they replaced the proof guy with ai instead of just firing everyone and letting ai write everything.

You've noticed the bane of my existence. The death of news and journalism has meant an end to good copy editing.
