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!

Good riddance. And good job MSNBC News anchors. May the fascists never find a home.
In the wake of Conde’s announcement to sever ties with McDaniel, MSNBC host Joy Reid and Maddow addressed the reversal on the network’s air, praising the move as “bold” and “strong.”
“I think it is a show of strength and a show of respect for the people who work at this company and make us who we are,” Maddow said. “That leadership was willing to change on this, I’m grateful to them.”
So like… yeah, it’s good that their C-suite and board (or whoever else was involved) reversed course when faced with unified resistance, but let’s be honest: they reversed course because all their top anchors essentially gave them an ultimatum.
[MS]NBC leadership did not reverse course on this out of the goodness of their hearts. They reversed course because they realized they stepped on a landmine. I am pretty confident that they’ll continue to try to be more “centrist”, because they want more profit, which demands a bigger marketshare… and Fox is still the biggest game in town (don’t get me started), so they’re gonna try to pull viewers away from Fox (again, don’t get me started on how absolutely dumb that idea is). CNN has been doing it for years, for the record.
Fucker and his 'leadership team' should step down
You're not wrong, and the anchors know that. Thanks for sharing for those wondering, but you don't snub the nose of the giant after successfully adding a cut. 999 to go.
CNN has been doing it for years
CNN sits more to the center, though, so it's not a stretch for them.
And maybe it's okay to be centrist, as long as we avoid whackadoo stuff like "teaching the controversy", and discuss the more straightforward wrong-headed stuff while avoiding the nutball wrong-headed stuff. Outline how cost-effective services is met through consolidation and results-based goals and not through firing the inspectors and requiring everyone to pay everything separately so fat-cat buddies will send kick-backs in thanks.
Might be because I’m not American but anytime I view it they seem pretty hard to the right
No, CNN has moved to the right. The GQP has moved very far to the right and the "news" networks have followed at a distance (except Fux News who helped push the shift) in order to keep the shareholders happy.
When you hire clowns in your attempt to appear "impartial" to folks that can't define the word, expect a circus.
It feels like a weird game where they want to see how far they can go.
She's apparently going to file a hostile work environment lawsuit, but it's not going to go the way she thinks it will.
NBC will end up proving in court that hiring a fascist creates a hostile work environment, if they don't just pay her to go away & never speak their name again.
She'll probably get a nice settlement amounting to the next 5 years they would have paid her.
Good shit fuck the Romneys.
Bye Felicia
It reads like “I will save the day. I’m not going to blame the other people whose fault it is, because it’s not my fault, but I’m going to save the day. Approved. You’re welcome.”
