I'm American, so I don't understand why the UK has a 'Ministry of Truth' telling networks what kind of programming they are allowed to have.

We've some similar nefarious influences that would love our media to descend to the full depths of some of the American 'entertainment' news media. But were not quite there yet and its still a fringe atm.

So sitting politicians doing backdoor propaganda still isn't allowed by the watchdog.

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.
