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!

I suggest actually reading what he wrote, it's a long winded article written by an obviously disgruntled employee but worth a read. The guy made some solid points but I feel his conclusion came up short. He's upset that he's being told how to think. I feel the real takeaway is that news organizations have stopped reporting news they think their viewers will dislike. This is a much bigger threat than what this journalist is making it out to be. News is supposed to be just that, news. What happened, dates, times and facts. What we have now is some terrible form of entertainment/news that's designed to feed your narrative and if they can't they just won't report it or will report a skewed version of the events. This is what cable news channels have been doing for years and NPR is supposed to be above that. I think that's the main gripe he has but he seems to take his aggression out on progressive policies in his work place. I don't disagree with Uri but I also feel that some of this resentment is just an older guy in a field that is rapidly changing.
I read his piece when it first came out. He talks about the Hunter Biden laptop like it was an actual smoking gun. Dude has zero credibility.
