My downvote wasn't in anger. It's more about the fact that this isn't a news article which makes it questionably breaking the rules of this /c/. Combined with the headline being serious editorializing via broad generalization of what the statement is. Not saying it's not true, just that it's a unnecessarily sensational.

It's a press release from the White House. Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?

And OP's description is good, it helps cut through the typical liberal mealy-mouthed framings that are, otherwise, the only ones you would ever hear.

But who will chew up this statement and feed it to me like a baby bird. How am I supposed to form an opinion without a media propagandist telling me what to think!

Because like Yogthos said, the only consumption liberals do comes pre-digested by the Jake Tappers, Rachel Maddows, and Wolf Blitzers of the world. It'd be funny in a disgusting way if these milquetoast know-nothing partisans didn't have hands on the levers of the world.

To be honest i would trust Yogthos who has been posting news threads for years than some paid journalists that has an agenda to whatever news they report. It resembles the old forum era where if you hang around long enough, you can trust/trust a little some users.
