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!

I honestly don’t like the channel, primarily because I just absolutely hate how they present pretty much every story.
I just want sober, measured, objective reporting, but apparently that’s too much to ask of almost anyone in journalism these days.
This right here is my problem with them. They are using the same baiting tactics the right does with their shit.
"Donald Trump OWNED" and so on...
I already hate that shit from conservative donkeys. Why would I want to see a liberal version of this?
Indeed. This guy likes his own voice too much. 1/10th of the time with the same content but without the word waste would be better.
It's not perfect, but some more news and their podcast "even more news" are good and they tend to wait to report on breaking stories until more facts come out, or at least state upfront that there is still a lot that they don't know yet.
Lately, it's kind of impossible to report on some of this shit without getting a little emotional. But they're closer to tears than frothing angrily.
I love some more news with news dude Cody Johnston!! Lol but seriously their brand of dry sarcastic humor helps the depressing news go down easier.
