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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Great to see. Hopefully they revoke the licenses of those that aired his ads that were illegally funded.
Why is this great to see? Did you read the article or even the first paragraph?
The Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks - ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News - violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of President Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department's action.
It’s retaliatory by the administration.
Yeah, but those fuckers are breaking anti-trust laws. Not because of this, mind, but regardless.
CNN and CBS maybe, now that the merger is finalized. How are ABC, Fox and NBC breaking anti trust laws?
Vertical is another form of monopoly, one that all of them fuck with.
Ok. How are ABC, Fox and NBC breaking anti trust laws?
Site doesn't load. Can't read the article
Then why comment at all? Actually, never mind. Don’t care.
Article doesn't load.
Freeze peach for me, not for thee
How did you write that and somehow not see how badly you fucked it up?
Uh, pretty sure that was intentional.
