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!

Just a quick reminder that common dreams is quite literally a propaganda website. They're not a news website and nothing they say is credible.
Looks like every claim in the article is supported with a valid source.
What I said isn't new or controversial. Common Dreams is quite literally a propaganda website. They don't cover things fairly, they intentionally only portray a single side of an issue, they have an agenda to push. This is literally all on their website. Common Dreams is in the same tier as the Daily Wire or The Blaze. Trying to pass any of these as legitimate news source is stupid, they're not.
I wasn't defending Common Dreams. Just pointing out, in this case, it seems that they're backing their claims up with links to actual trustworthy sources.
My point is that even if that is the case, you're going to get a clearly slanted story because the entire organization is built with the intent of serving specific narratives and interests. There's no such thing as unbiased news, but there is such a thing as overly biased.
mediabiasfactcheck said their credibility is high.
Isn't that the website where a bunch random online users get to rate the bias of different sites anonymously?
