We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Wouldn't you like to know who's a Russian rat up front?

Sure, but it's redundant. You can easily infer that simply from the 'conservative commentator' bit.

You and I can. Lots of people can't.

if it's relevant to what they're saying, yea lol

How does Benny Johnson being paid by russia change or effect what he's saying about Biden pretending to bite babies?

Like, if the article had said:

Lemmy user LowtierComputer, whom is alleged to like pineapple on their pizza, commented on an article about Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.

“Wouldn’t you like to know who’s a Russian rat up front?” they wrote. Their post had been upvoted 4 times by midday Friday.

How does your preferred pizza topping relate to the topic of your comment (biden biting babies)? It might be true, and it might be important information to people who distrust pineapple-pizza-lovers, but it absolutely no bearing on the thing you wrote.

Lmao it's just funny that an article about something so ridiculous has deleterious details about random conservative commentators in it, as if those details have any impact on whether the ridiculous thing happened or not. It almost makes you wonder if the story is actually about Biden at all, or if it's about how shitty those commentators are and Biden was just the excuse to write about them.

Is relevant in that they're posting about a generally negative-seen activity by Biden and they're very biased against him.

Yes this biting activity is true and doesn't matter, but the impetus behind it is relevant to readers.
