Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I love how the article is dripping with thinly veiled contempt and scare quotes. I also liked this part:

On his TikTok, Van den Berg has also visited tenants in distress who have called him for help, exposing poor landlords who leave their tenants in units that require dire maintenance and do not fulfill work orders.

Oh no, not the poor landlords!

On their about page it say's they're not just another left or right-wing publication, but a bunch of unbiased neutral free-thinkers. landlord-sus

I think it's poor landlords like low quality landlords, not sympathetic landlords.

Maybe, but I wonder how the target audience will interpret that though, considering the rest of the article is expertly written to make them sympathize with the landlord.

We should send the "author" "pictures" of a "pig" with "poop" on its "balls"
