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!

Free press in the USA? LOL, it becomes more and more difficult every time a US oligarch buys a news outlet.

Majority Report, Some More News. I suppose the on the other side of the aisle it would be Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro.

There is still some of the fourth estate left that hasn't been bought by oligarchs, it's just not exactly effective on the leftward side of the overton window.

Isn't the Daily Wire funded by oil barons? I wouldn't put them in the same category as MR which is entirely funded by their viewers and a handful of sponsors.

It's possible, I was just trying to think of right wing pundits that aren't on main stream media. I only know that Ben's wife is not having a good time, by his own admission. I just had to look up The Daily Wire to figure out which one it was.

Ben shapiro is funded by a fundamentalist Christian billionaire...

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ahh, I see. I don't pay attention to him and was just trying to find someone right wing that wasn't on main stream media platforms

Breaking Points is up and coming. But all these shows still rely on Youtube which can pull the plug at any moment.
