News aggregation is a good thing, too.
But news I’ve aggregated into this forum from the BBC of all sources has been taken down. Reasons like it was a ‘wraparound’ were given.
The story was about rioting in Corsica, which is part of France. An Islamic Center was attacked and there was a lot of anger for and against the violence.
I think it was taken down when I posted it from the BBC and even other sources because of fear of what the comments would read like since Islam was involved.
My persistence in trying to post the story which was legitimate news and complaining about it in the forum only got me banned from posting anything for several days.
All the news is not allowed to be aggregated in this forum and other cases it is suppressed.
My posts from MSM sources, MSM news stories about the Oregon Standoff have all had the topics taken out of them within minutes of my posting from “Front Page News” to “Breaking News” to “Extended New” to even “Oregon”.
Because after you re-write it, it ceases to be news.
Yes, it was news when you stole it, but after you stick your
own name on it as a “source”.. you’ve made it into something else.
You should label that crap as a vanity and post it in chat.
Or not at all.
Print it out and tape it to your fridge if your so proud of it.
I DO know that there are sources we cannot post from.
It could be that the way they are posted caused them to be yanked. That happens every day.
I do not envy the Admin’s having to do that daily.
