Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

“And we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you.”

It kind of destroys any pretense of neutrality when you refer to them as “some of our friends”.

This would be the State Media, like RT is for Russia, only they aren't even smart enough to pretend.

RT is quite schizophrenic because it has left-wing content in certain regions and right-wing content in other regions.

Fyi schizophrenia is distinct and very different from multiple personality disorder. Don't feel bad though I've heard people with psych degrees using it similarly.

No, hearing voices and seeing things and not knowing whether they are true or fake hallucinations is a perfect description of RT.

Conflicting information that keeps people confused and afraid is beneficial for an authoritarian regime

Replacing trained journalists with frat bro douche podcasters who will uncritically report and support whatever shit you'll spew would not be surprising but would still be terrible. Yet another notch on the "This is how democracy dies" speedrun

Oh, you weren't talking about the American media kabal?

Sorry, your description matched so well.

But it's got what plants crave.
