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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.

I don’t think he will loose the election, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a looser.
If he wins by a landslide, he will still have the enquiry into his cryptobro bribe. If he almost looses, he almost lost to a bloke with a bin on his head.
Edit: Results are in: BinFace had just under 1/3rd of the votes, Fascist Scam Artist had just over 2/3rd of the votes, did not attend the count and did not give a victory speech. Utter contempt for his constituents.
"loose" is the opposite of tight.
"lose" (one O) is the opposite of win.
I'm glad someone said it. Makes my eye twitch
Well, FarReich is also a loose cunt, given all the foreign interest dick he keeps taking.
^disclaimer: only proverbial vaginas like Ser Frogface, can become loose. Biological vaginas do NOT.^
Almost 9.5k people made the point they'd rather have a novelty candidate in charge than a charlatan. And honestly I think Binface would have been a good MP. Sure, the bar is low compared to Froggie.
Whatever the result had been, Five Mil Fashy would have lost.
Let the investigations (re)commence!
Quite disappointing that it was only a 44% voter turnout with all the publicity around it.
Absolutely. But the good news is that there is no possible way that he can argue that he has a mandate.
He'll do it anyway. The government argued they had a full Brexit mandate when it was literally 52%
But he still will.
Well, I guess a lot of people couldn't bring themselves to vote for either the ridiculous joke candidate or for the one with a bin over his head.
That's it. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Let's book our tickets to Sigma IX.
It's not over yet, Binface will duel wanker for round 2.
Well that sucks, I really wanted that to happen.
This is the highest percentage of the vote that an absurdist candidate has ever captured. I would count that as a win.
Chad Binface is happy with just one sensible vote.
He didn't increase his lead either it's pretty much the same result
