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!

They're sanewashing a literal nazi salute.
The right wing media are using nukes, while the liberal media are playing with sticks.
The "liberal" media are bending the knee. They are editing that part from the footage, apparently Facebook is removing posts with this. They are showing that they never were on liberal side, they just existed to control liberals.
Yeah, the liberal media is owned by the right wing.
There is no need for scare quotes around liberal. Bending the knee is what liberals do.
The quotes are apt, as they never were truly liberal. They existed to capitalize on that market and to guide liberals to do what their owners want.
Look how for example they ridicule progressives like Bernie or AOC, how they ignored net neutrality during Obama and trump.
Look how they get Biden to cancel campaign when he was promising to raise taxes on $400k+
They are "liberal" but only in a way that it doesn't interfere with billionaires wealth.
If you want reliable news sources support non profit ones.
They were never true scotsmen.
Most of the rest of your comment describes bog standard liberal behavior.
Look up who owns them.
And what liberal media is that?
That's what happened during Nazi Germany too
