Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

The link shows only
abcnews.go.com
You could still change the title btw.
ABC is a US news company...
Also, I'm not the OP.
ABC is also the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, so that’s not a sure fire way to know.
If if was that one then it would have the .au TLD if we're looking at the link so we can tell just by looking at the link its not the Australian one.
Sure, if you already know that, that’s a valid way to tell them apart.
But if you don’t, it’s not necessarily obvious.
The amount of time you've spend bitching about this is ten fold what it would take to just click the link and find out.
Why is it that you US Americans are so dense in being the main character. Just write USA in the header for a post in an international news channel. Like - you know - every other country in the world. You must agree that this would be the most civil solution or not?
Lmao, what a fucking drama queen.
Why do I need to click the link for something I already knew?
Why is it bitching to teach people something they may not know?
You are still talking?
