Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Thanks. Seems like it needs a bit more context though, the clip doesn’t really explain anything in detail. I hate this kind of editing.
But I hope no one doubts that Denmark is also an extremely racist country because it really is and proves itself to be time after time (even regardless of this.)
IDK the audio only says something about someone being united with his family in Qatar, and that audio is dubbed onto a clip of a news anchor with a print out of some monkeys hugging, interlaced with pictures of Moroccan football players hugging women.
Something's a bit "off" with this story. One thing is that the anchor is holding the picture clued to cardboard (or it's printed directly, doesn't really matter) which is a step above just printing it on the office printer. That means it would be deliberate, which is something I don't buy. But what really really sets off my rat detector is that I consume a lot of news, but I haven't heard anything about this before. Danish news outlets are super bored during the summer, and this story would have been good for a couple of days, depending on how it's handled.
I stand corrected. The incident seems to have happened around December 2022, which could explain why it wasn't that big of a story in Denmark. Apparently the news station had to hire guards after the incident. Maybe the story was bigger internationally? IDK but I definitely stand corrected!
