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!

No shit. It's to sell stories and make money. Thinking anything else is naive at best.
Exactly. This article is appealing to your hate for a Trump appointee who shouldn’t be in this position. What information are you getting that you didn’t already know. She’s a bad judge. Period. But by angering readers they create clicks and get eyeballs. $. I’m not saying it’s not news and you shouldn’t pay attention. I’m just trying to make people more aware of how they interact with the news.
The enlightened centrism is suffocating.
The article is driving traffic. That doesn't change the fact she fucked up her job.
You're just muddying the waters by shifting the discussion away from her actions to how they're reported.
Look at my post history.
True.
I am criticizing the media. It’s sad that you don’t have the ability to understand that media influences you. And when someone points it out, your reaction is to shit on them for trying to make you aware. And I’m the bad guy?
OK so what's your point here then, about the facts regarding Aileen Cannon? Are you actually arguing any points or just making ad hominem attacks?
Riccosuave explained my intentions better than I can. His comment is earlier in this thread.
Your post history does not matter. And I can even agree with you on the media in general. But that really doesn't matter in this case. Canon should not be a judge in any court. The same could be said for many others. But they're coverage and characterization of Canon is important with regards to this historic and important case that she will be overseeing. Likely to all of our deficit. Immediate and everyone is right to raise a stink about her. She's already shown that she cannot be fair impartial or deliver Justice. Regardless of whether or not we agree with the media.
