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!

Wow....absolutely blown away. I literally never thought I'd see journalistic integrity from anyone even loosely associated with FauxNews...
The dominion lawsuit has them scared, rightfully so
They know trump isnt as popular as in 2016, and are erring on the side of caution as well
They don't care about his overall popularity, they only care about his popularity with their viewing demographic, and he's as popular with that demo as he's ever been. More so, honestly.
Remember Trump won more votes in 2020 than 2016, and his popular vote percentage rose by 0.7%. The fact he still had that much after 4 years of his shit tells you everything you need to know about these voters.
That was the most rigged election year in America since Tamany Hall, and he still lost
I read: "The Dominion" and DS9 instantly took over my mind.
If only Jeffrey Combs would come take Trump to another quadrant of the galaxy.
My understanding is they could play all the videos of Trump saying bullshit they want, just not assert it themselves. They could repeat it but be careful to say “Person x alleges this” rather than stating mistruths as fact.
I don't know if this is so much them being scared, the vibe I'm getting here is that the anchor finally feels like he can get away with being a bit of a real journalist, when before he would be reprimanded by the network.
Fox news' reporters have always been reasonable, maybe on the low end of reasonable, but reasonable. The thing that makes Fox as a network awful is their opinion people, and how much they blur the line between their opinion people and their reporters.
I wouldn’t necessarily call it integrity. I think Faux News has realized they created a monster that lost them a ton of viewers to even worse garbage at Newsmax. They’re trying to walk it all back now.
and best of fucking luck to them in all that.
Could be opportunism. Fox senses that Trump might go to prison or get barred from the election in another way, and so they either prepare endorsing a different candidate or are simply cautious.
But it's journalism by accident at best.
Fox never actually wanted Trump, but they radicalized their viewers too much. They tried to criticize him before while he was president, but each time they did their ratings went down and OAN's went up.
They ought to know that since they were first to call Arizona for Biden, they will be first against the wall if he is re-elected
They wont be associated much longer
