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!

It's stupid, but also it's meaningless. People don't actually enter URLs into web browsers anymore, nor do they pay any attention to the URLs that are plastered over everything. They google the name of the thing they want to access, and "the right view" is easy enough to find.
Worse, it's a podcast, so it's website is just an ad for the actual thing, just like the background is, so it's not like she actually cares if anyone goes there. She wants them to search iTunes or whatever for it.
Laughing at her for the meaningless typo while she successfully markets her shitty podcast is just smug and empty catharsis. It's patting yourself on the back for noticing that your neighbour forgot to turn their lights out when evacuating as wildfires convert your entire neighbourhood to ash.
Right? This is just a typo. Who among us has never had a big typo. It happens. Plus you can make the subdomain anything you want so they could point wwww to site if they wanted and realistically most people just leave off the w's anyway when typing in a domain.
There are actual egregious problems caused by these people but everyone in these comments jerkin themselves off over this just look desperate.
It’s just a typo, so to make a story about it is a stretch. However it goes to show the lack of professionalism and proofing that happens. So, it’s not a big deal, but it’s still newsworthy to a minor extent.
So it’s shallow AND pedantic.
Its* website.
As the article shows, it was also aired on Fox, Newsmax and other conservative outlets, not just her podcast.
You're caught up in the "hurr durr, she so dumb". I didn't say she showed it on her podcast, I said it's an ad for her podcast, and it's all the more successful for everyone sharing the image. Any of us who had never heard of it now know it exists, and what it's called.
Again, no one cares about the URL. They're not going to use it. They're going to google the name and successfully find it, because Google finds it just fine. You're laughing at trivialities while she's successfully getting her shit out there to audiences.
Not to mention that I hadn't heard of any of this until this post.
Almost feels like when someone would make an error in a reddit title for engagement.
Damn, dude. I just thought it was funny. Does everything have to be deadly serious around here?
