US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

They choose who they trust though. I'm sure MANY people in positions of trust and authority throughout their lives told them correct information. They actively chose not to trust those people, and instead trust people telling them the opposite. There has to be some level of fault and accountability at that point.
