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!

He literally has a law degree from Yale.
He knows this isn't true.
Can the media fucking call him on this, please?
The media is owned by the same billionaires that own the politicians.
This isn't a left versus right thing anymore. It's a have vs the have-nots.
And there's a lot more of us have-nots.
COVID taught us that even two weeks of reduced profits was enough to send a lot of these companies spinning.
We could literally end this in a month with a general strike, but we'll never get enough citizens on board with it.
It’s not their job anymore. They are just Trumps cheerleaders now.
Wouldn't want the FCC to investigate you for BiAs aGaInSt CoNsErVaTiVeS now would you?
But hey at least we aren't a socialist country, they only do those things when you're in a socialist country amirite? Thank God I don't have taxpayer funded healthcare and affordable housing...
It was never their job. Not the most independent organization, not before the Washington Post chose darkness, not with Woodward/Bernstein, not during Edward R. Murrow's reporting, none of it. These are private, for-profit businesses. If they have journalistic principles, that's great! But that will never come before money...
You would think Yale would have something to say. As I see it, a law degree from there is useless, do you even need to be able to read to get in?
Not for legacy admissions, that's for damn sure.
Why, after everything, do people still believe that conservatives and normies would demand a stop to unconstitutional shenanigans "if they only knew....".
They know, or they don't care, or both.
Are we seeking validation through the press? Because that's all they've left to offer.
Very true, nothing changed after it was revealed we tortured people in the Afghanistan/Iraq wars, and nothing changed after Snowden showed mass spying on US citizens.
We've been at a point where disclosure basically means nothing to the world at large, simply because of the massive amounts of information produced and disseminated every day.
Maybe the information age was a mistake.
Rich people don't attend Yale to learn, they attend to schmooze
Oversight and balance of power is for Democrats, silly!
