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!

MODERATORS
Any news organization that sane-washes this nonsense is not centrist.
They are corporations that make money from news entertainment AND he's all about giving them MORE power and MORE money.
He's their golden goose and their wet dream all rolled into one.
Follow the money.
Any news organization that sane-washes this is not a "news" organization. They are a fascist's plaything.
Do better, media.
Narrator: They didn't.
corporations have incentives to be right wing. why would they be centrist?
also news organizations should be fair and accurate, not centrist.
True true
But MBFC is telling me they're all centre-left, so that must be true
From observing MBFC I can conclude it is far right.
They never really were. The Bircher types have always whined that the corporate media is "the liberal media". This was and is complete nonsense, of course. Of course, to compensate for this constant whining, they have internalized this silliness and constantly steer into goofy practices like being "objective" and giving equal times to "both sides" - this only enables the pathological lying that is the norm for the right.
News organizations are not supposed to be centrist, they are supposed to be neutral.
I completely agree with you
