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 was sure you editorialized the title but you didn't.
This ain't a real news site, the author is all caps laughing and screaming a bunch a stuff.
Yeah, not news at all. OP doesn't need to editorialize when the columnist has already done such a good job of editorializing themselves lol
One might even refer to the media as an editorial.
AP and Reuters are the only real news agencies left (with PBS getting close but still editorializing too often).
Everything else is entertainment media, and they've even gone to court to prove it themselves
EDIT: look at all the tankies and extremists downvoting the truth. Opinions aren't news. Editorials aren't news. I like watching Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart as much as the next progressive, but they're entertainment, not news, and it's a major failure if you can't recognize that
While I agree with most of what you’re saying, do you realize that the linked media is literally an editorial? Published in the editorial section?
If by “they” you mean Fox News exclusively, then yes, that’s correct. Fox News has made that argument in court.
I thought it was specifically Tucker, even, and not Fox in general.
.... But there would only ever be one case in the first place? Because once FOX won it applied to everyone else too? There was never a need for additional cases, they all benefited.
Seriously, go watch CNN from a year before that case, and then from a year after it. They and everyone else took the ball and ran with it, never looking back.
And of course they did, they're corporations. They're in the business of making money, not improving the world. Why would they hamstring themselves by playing by a different set of rules than the competition?
Lol no. That’s not how the real world works. Fox News didn’t establish a precedent by “taking a whammy” on behalf of the rest of the mainstream media so they could all lie freely and thereby ending all potential litigation against media outlets. They just successfully defended themselves. The reason Fox News is the only outlet to mount such a defense in court is because they’re the only outlet that’s consistently, and verifiably, lied under the auspices of “entertainment” and been sued as a direct result.
Do you understand that “the media” is not a monolith? What Fox News does is not automatically true across the board.
The Intercept is still doing great, real investigative journalism.
