    Its Minnesota Public Radio, running an Associated Press report. Fairly reliable as things go

      I took the extra step of verifying the same story from other sources, and added a link here to increase your original article’s credibility for the important story you posted about the ICE home invasion. I don’t want others reading your post and questioning if this home invasion by ICE is actually happening.

      Its Minnesota Public Radio

      Nowhere on the adblocked/scriptblocked article page or front page of that site communicates its Minnesota Public Radio. Maybe it would show that with adblock or script block turned off, but visibly questionable sites are the exact ones that should not have those protections turned off.

      running an Associated Press report.

      Just because a site claims an AP report doesn’t mean it is. There’s a lemmy poster that created a “satire” community that generates fake stories. The lemmy poster that creates these fake stories also claimed to be posting AP News articles. When challenged, they went back and edited the fake stories to also include fake (but reasonably sounding) news organizations.

        It says © 2026 Minnesota Public Radio. All rights reserved. Right at the bottom of the page, how is that not communicated?

          Here is the bottom of the page I see:

          My guess is that the copyright notice you’re seeing is via a javascript function. As I said in my post:

            It’s in the footer html, nothing JavaScript about it. If your Adblock is blocking regular footer divs that’s on your Adblock setup not mpr nor it’s JavaScript.
