'text': 'By Abby Hassler\nGreen Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has always been outspoken about his political beliefs. Following
the tragedy in Charlottesville, Virgina, over the weekend, Armstrong felt the need to speak out against the white supremacists
who caused much of the violence.\nRelated: Billie Joe Armstrong Wins #TBT with Childhood Studio Photo\n“My heart feels heavy.
I feel like what happened in Charlottesville goes beyond the point of anger,” Armstrong wrote on Facebook. “It makes me sad
and desperate. shocked. I f—— hate racism more than anything.”\n“The spirit of Green Day has always been about rising above
oppression. and sticking up for what you believe in and singing it at the top of your lungs,” Armstrong continued.
“We grew up fearing nuclear holocaust because of the cold war. those days are feeling way too relevant these days.
these issues are our ugly past.. and now it’s coming to haunt us. always resist these doomsday politicians. and in the
words of our punk forefathers .. Nazi punks f— off.”',

Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
CC-News dataset has been proposed, created, and maintained by Sebastian Nagel.
The data is publicly available on AWS S3 Common Crawl bucket at /crawl-data/CC-NEWS/.
This version of the dataset has been prepared using news-please - an
integrated web crawler and information extractor for news.
It contains 708241 English language news articles published between Jan 2017 and December 2019.
Although news-please tags each news article with an appropriate language tag, these tags are somewhat unreliable.
To strictly isolate English language articles an additional check has been performed using
Spacy langdetect pipeline.
We selected articles with text fields scores of 80% probability or more of being English.
There are no strict guarantees that each article has all the relevant fields. For example, 527595
articles have a valid description field. All articles have what appears to be a valid image URL,
but they have not been verified.
Who are the source language producers?
The news websites throughout the World.
