Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

It was Dean Phillips. Saved you a click.

Here's the referenced article: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/biden-robocall-new-hampshire-strategist-rcna139760

They hired a New Orleans magician for $150 to do 20min of work to create the deepfake. He came forward, because he didn't know they were going to use what he did to suppress votes.

Edit: it was a New Orleans magician, not New Hampshire.

Much better article.

Thank you, that website was too messy for phones. (Big Ads and popups, easy way to get me to leave)

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Thanks. At least your article mentions receipts unlike the OP.

Guys - News you don't like or doesn't fit your agenda is NOT spam. You can stop reporting this now.

I didn't report it, but it is a very click-baity, Taboola-esque title with a subhead that matches. I can easily see why people would assume this to be a spam post, especially given the link source.
