Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not so much the journalists, but the editors. Journalist can write an article with every scathing detail left in and it won't get published if the editor says 'tone down your language'.
and they tone down the language. or they never have it in to begin with.
but you can not-sane-wash and still keep it fairly "journalistic". you just have to be honest. How many news anchors saw what was happening live, were shocked and horrified and the next week it wen from 'riots' and 'insurrection' to "protest"?
Well yeah. Their choice is to either give in to the editor's/owners demand that the language change or they don't have a job anymore. I'm not saying the phenomenon you describe isn't real. Just hold the appropriate people responsible and it is the editors setting the agenda, not the journalists 99% of the time.
Sorry. He compromised as a journalist and helped normalize the shitheal. He’s part of the reason why people laughed and refused to believe that Trump was spouting Nazis rhetoric practically cloned from the Nuremberg address in 2016.
And this asshole in particular thinks it’s my fault?
I’ve been calling trump out for being a Nazis- and journalists and editors collectively ignored the signs that were sitting right there in front of everyone.
You’re right. He could have lost his job.
Booohooo. Millions of Americans have died as a direct result of trump’s presidency. A president journalists everywhere helped normalize.
You don’t get to pass that buck.
