From a scale of 1 to pol how bad would you rate /new/
| The fact that one of the banners is Donald Trump doesn't help.
inb4 >iT's iRoNiic
| The difference is that /pol/ takes itself seriously.
/news/ is self aware that the board is like three or four people screaming COMMUNISM and CAPITALISM while everyone else who's legitimately trying to have a discussion simply bears it.
Imagine having a talk in a coffee shop and outside people are protesting and inside people are trying to sell you shit you don't want. That's /news/.
And occasionally spam, redundant threads, or moderation occurs and both sides scream FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
| They barely discuss anything they can't present as part of a racist or anti-Trump conspiracy theory.

True
But I'd also say we have the exact opposite people of pol.
We have mainly Communists and Conservative/Capitalist people.
We don't have so many liberals or fascists tho, which is nice :D

That IS pretty nice.
And, despite all this website has been through, SJW's/Radical Feminazis/ and even MRA's are relatively rare.
| /pol/ is a nice litmus test for imageboards: if you're offended it's probably not for you.

More like if you are alt-right you like /pol/ and if you are a Commie you don't care about it.
And if you are Commie you like /leftypol/ and if you are alt-right you don't care about it.
If you are offended by it you are probably a liberal tho
| Ignoring the "discussions" treads.
From my experience the news artical cited in /news/ are sometimes blatantly racist. As in "The murder rate in Frankfurt am main rose by 50%! THE TURKISH HORDES ARE INVAIDING GERMANY!"
...when the number of murders went from 6 to 9. (9 too much tbh. But a small number nontheless)
(PS. This is a example taken from a news artical from 2014 or so, not this side. However it demonstrates what counts as news in /news)
| Any board dedicated, either seriously or as a joke, to news and politics is a dumpster fire, no matter what
