I tweeted to an NPR producer, "why is Cuba on the state sponsor of terror list?" I was trying to be a smart ass since he was farming for questions for a segment on Cuba. They read my question on air and went on about support for the MPLA in Angola.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
They’re only ever going to pick questions that allow them to push whatever agenda they have.
You know what's funny? Out of many excuses they can pull out of their ass, the MPLA is the actual ruling party of Angola so I'm wondering why supporting a country in a civil war is "terrorism"
Literally the elected party and their vote share has been dwindling, barely over 50% last elections
Not exactly what you'd expect for a 'vote rigging' regime
They supported the wrong side ("isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?")
are you actually?

What do you mean?
Like are you actually wondering or was that rhetorical?
Rhetorical but you can take it both ways
They read my question on air and went on about support for the MPLA in Angola.
