Thus is not world news. I don’t want to get gore local news in my feed. Thanks
Why is it not world news? Every news article is local to somewhere.
World news, to me, is stuff that affects the world at large. This is what would fit in news or offbeat on Reddit, but never worldnews.
Ah, thanks, this explains a phenomenon that has been troubling me.
To me world news is about news from around the world. Probably things that affect a considerable number of people, though, are more newsworthy.
For example, 315,000 people just lost their homes to landslides and flash flooding, and have nowhere else to go. Several lives lost.
I’m not seeing the story picked up much in western news cycles, and but if your criteria is it has to affect the world at large, that would be why.
Not the one with the complaint, but I can see their point. Decapitations during birth happen around the world several times a year, with only some of those cases ever going to the news. When they do hit the news, they spread quickly because of the shock factor. Yet the general public may come away from this not realizing it’s is far from the first time and won’t be the last.
I’d say this would make a great world news article if some of the prior cases from across the world were also mentioned, and the bigger issue of women being dismissed by their doctors was prominently referenced with supporting studies.

Yikes, really? New fear unlocked.
I guess another example of this would be bubonic plague. It ticks away in the background and every once in a while people freak out.
Hard for some to understand given most people never leave there home town.

Dude…what the absolute fuck.
Jesus fucking Christ. If you think the headline’s bad, don’t even try to read the actual article. What the actual fucking fuck.
NSFL
Several nurses are also being sued for concealing the incident.
Mr Lynch alleged in graphic detail the measures staff had taken to cover up the the horrific incident, including wrapping the baby’s body in a blanket and propping his head up to make it look like it was still attached.
Holy shit, that’s indefensible, and they all worked together. It reminds me of the Milgram shock experiments.
Note that this was in Georgia the US state, not Georgia the country.
Somehow I didn’t need this comment to know that
I saw this yesterday and still can’t manage anything more than “what the fuck.”
Horrific! This is so bloody traumatising
Now that’s the healcare we pay exorbitant prices for.
Just imagine how much they charged that family to decapitate their baby.

Damn they wrapped the body and the head in a blanket to pretend in front of the parents that the baby isn’t decapitated.
Anyways, has anyone seen the scene with the blind kid and the bird in dumb and dumber?
