    This subinstance or whatever the fuck they’re called is full of the most sod worthy news. Nothing but Putin and shit that makes me want to rip my eyeballs off. Fucking why.

    This specifically is not world news. It is back alley India news.

          People are tired of bad news in general. It has nothing in particular to do with where this happened.

          The Internet means that I, someone thousands of miles away, am now aware of the tragedies you are suffering, as well. Sometimes it seems like that much knowledge of suffering just wasn’t what we were built to handle every day.

          It’s not you or where you live, it’s just that humans can only take humans being awful to each other for so long before it becomes too much to bear.

            there is barely any good news from this part of the world.

            i live around people who watch media (known as godi media) that keep them dumb by feeding them propaganda that “nothing is wrong in this country” and “opponents of the party in power are evil who want to tarnish our countries image.”

            they fear monger people to get votes and in the last few months they feed them little candies (lower petrol/electricity prices) and sports washing their problems

            but if they have a problem then they show action especially in the personal matters

            and public still buys the “india superpower by 2020” bs.

        I saw his submission history I would have liked to keep seeing the Indian space news but not if I have to see 5-10x articles like this one. I am also blocking him.

          Can you block someone using a browser? I clicked their name and then “block user”, but it did nothing.

    Sanjeev, who is also a distant relative of the woman, came to meet the family and took her daughter to his house to play with her on Friday.

    After some time, the mother heard her baby crying loudly and rushed to Sanjeev’s house where she found her daughter lying naked and bleeding.

    She immediately shouted for help. Sanjeev was immediately caught and roughed up by the family and other people in the neighbourhood.

    He was handed over to the police. Meanwhile, the survivor was sent for treatment. The child’s condition is stable and she was discharged on Saturday. Additional SP Shirish Chandra said, "We have arrested the accused and he has been booked under sections 376 (rape) of IPC along with sections 5 and 6 of the Pocso Act.

    The accused, who is unmarried and unemployed, has confessed to his crime and has been sent to the Sambhal district jail."

    Maybe we can bury the lead a little bit on that title? It feels a bit gratuitous.

      How do you sugar coat the rape of a 6 month old? That’s a kid that can’t speak, can’t walk, just starting to explore pureed foods. The absolute definition of innocence. Of course this is going to be horrific.

        You do it like they did in the actual article. You dont include the quote in the headline and lets people approach the horrible details at their own pace.

        I actually googled it since the last time this came up. Both are acceptable and the lede spelling is so that 19th century typesetters didnt confuse lead with the metall. I am not a journalist and I am not a typesetter so in the same way I don’t use specialist medical language in daily conversation, I will use the normal spelling of lead that makes sense.
