What about all the journalists who post to farm traffic to their content?
I'm not saying outright ban, but something should be done to limit it. At least the projo & boston globe people don't spam but it's all content behind soft paywalls.

I’ve seen more posts about people complaining about this stuff vs actual. Give it a rest people.

Not sin bakery. I went there to taste cupcakes for my wedding and they tasted like they were three days old made with sewer water.

The troll was banned from reddit as a whole, not the subreddit. Did the moderators here have anything to do with that?
I don't think we should ban GoLocalProv, or really any news site. It's a shit tabloid but it's still a source for relevant news, sometimes. Their bias and lack of quality is clear just by reading them. And I think it should be pointed out in the comments whenever possible, much like I wish folks would do when links to Sinclair media's WJAR are posted.
I do think a rule similar to r/RhodeIsland where you have to keep the original headline in order to prevent editorializing would be nice.

They don't report falsehoods, they report the truth in a very, very surface level biased way.
For example a recent story was that some hero kids got a pedophile teacher arrested by doing all the investigative work themselves, after authorities refused to investigate multiple allegations and reports against him.
The headline and article phrased everything so that if you didn't read carefully you would think the teacher was the victim and the kids were just extremist lefty teenagers looking to attack authority.

While I hate the GLP posts that are spammed on this sub, I’m hesitant to support out-right banned a news source. Yea, it’s a shitty new source. Yea, it seems to have a lot of support from extremely far-right thinkers. But… until it starts out-right being a news source that is visibly trying to stir up toxic chaos, I don’t wanna ban it. If there’s evidence that GLP has already crossed this line, please let me know!
Maybe in the meantime, we could have an once- or twice-weekly date that allows news postings?

They constantly deny it, yet stupidly use their alts to argue their case in threads like these and out themselves. What an absolute clown.

Or he doesn't know how to post and doesn't understand that it's helpful to post a subject along with your link... Let's all try to refrain from censorship, using the words of the year like 'fascist' to describe someone's behavior. You just come across like a dumb american

Duck and bunny made very good cupcakes but I am not sure they're reopened yet or what their situation is.

The news is not false. I’ve seen people on here calling it fear mongering since a specific user posts every crime report.
I posted about gun shots into the building that I lived next to before. I originally came here looking for information because I figured this sub was for community questions. It was upvoted, I guess because it wasn’t GoLocalProv, but it seems like that information is something people want to see.
I might be missing what everyone is upset about, but banning a domain is silly on a board that has community voting. That’s kind of the entire point of it. Only excuse is that this sub is dead as hell so that’s the most of what people are seeing.

Yes. And yellow journalism. And run of the mill, low quality, clickbait bullshit. And much more.
