    Why did you post the same article twice, from two different sources?

      Because OP is a troll and a spammy one at that. Yet mods refuse to do anything about this chucklefuck. From what I heard this an alt account from an already banned user and this stupid fuck likes to call himself the SOCIALIST BESERKER.

      They probably are going to tell you that if you have any issues with the article to take it up with the publishers. They have limited responses does not engage in good faith and is posting almost 24 hours a day.

        I’ve started reporting their posts for spamming/trolling. Not sure if it’ll do any good, but at least the mods might see our frustration. If the account engaged in good faith conversations it’d be a different story, I’ve really tried, but they’re clearly a troll.

      If I have read both correctly, they are actually different articles - this one is about warning that the Economist polling model (has moved to favour a GOP presidency) and the other one is warning about the different polling model from The Hill (which has also moved to favour a GOP presidency).

      I can see the benefit of posting all of them together at once though (hey ma, look at this! all the polling models I can find are starting to agree on the outcome!)

    Posting the same story from 3 different sources shows a lack of judgement. The story is good, we don’t need it 3 times.

    Removing the duplicates, adding a temp ban for indiscriminately flooding the channel.

      It’s paywalled. Sorry, but they don’t let’s us link to the free MSN sites or past the entire article, so you have to pay to see the article.

      But if you just cut and paste into google, the MSN site pops up and you can read article for free. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link to the free article. Thank you!

        Would be nice if the mods could clarify this - say for the same article, that one is explicitly required to including an extra link to a non paywalled source if one is available and the original is paywalled, in the same post.
