Better link

How is this a better link? Its a different source but what makes the Guardian better?

Ground News lets you at least choose the outlet you read it from.

At least unlike most times this Guardian article is written by them and not just quoting the AP source like most other sites are doing.

("Original AP News Article - Better link than above)

I use ground news too, it's fantastic for getting worldwide news.

Well, I usually pick a source with high factually and post it here, since I figured it was more of an aggregator than a source. I also thought it being subscription based makes it hard for users that don't have the app and/or account.

You could add a "found on ground news" in the body or comments.

C'mon, guys! Maduro totally knows what he's doing! He even talked to Jesus and Christ is all cool with celebrating his 2024th birthday 3 months early, it's totally not the dumbest, least effective smokescreen ever in recorded history!

I mean, Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, that's just a fact that the holiday was already moved to roughly the date of the winter solstice to usurp and syncretize pagan festivals.

Real weirdo move regardless.
