A lot of angry downvotes
My downvote wasn't in anger. It's more about the fact that this isn't a news article which makes it questionably breaking the rules of this /c/. Combined with the headline being serious editorializing via broad generalization of what the statement is. Not saying it's not true, just that it's a unnecessarily sensational.
what do journalists do i wonder
It's a press release from the White House. Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?
And OP's description is good, it helps cut through the typical liberal mealy-mouthed framings that are, otherwise, the only ones you would ever hear.
But who will chew up this statement and feed it to me like a baby bird. How am I supposed to form an opinion without a media propagandist telling me what to think!
Because like Yogthos said, the only consumption liberals do comes pre-digested by the Jake Tappers, Rachel Maddows, and Wolf Blitzers of the world. It'd be funny in a disgusting way if these milquetoast know-nothing partisans didn't have hands on the levers of the world.
To be honest i would trust Yogthos who has been posting news threads for years than some paid journalists that has an agenda to whatever news they report. It resembles the old forum era where if you hang around long enough, you can trust/trust a little some users.
Trust no one, especially not yourself. Fuck that guy.
I think you might be the worst person ever
Liberals...
I downvoted and I'm not angry. I just recognize that this post is intentionally inflammatory and trolling. As is common from OP.
Why is it inflammatory? As a mod I'm genuinely surprised people are upset by this, it is a white house press statement with an editorialized title that summarizes the event quickly and without any commentary on it.
You said it in your reply. An editorialized title--an extremely editorialized title, which was clearly crafted specifically to garner outrage.
I dont see it garnering outrage? It seems in line with what Kamala Harris said.
Posting news in a news comm of a presidential speech that is literally a link to the official government website of that president is "intentionally inflammatory and trolling"? This is a joke, right? You're doing a bit and playing a caricature of a typical lib clown?
It's the title that is inflammatory and trolling. Do you really not understand that editorializing is a thing?
Do you really not understand that titling any fucking post ever is doing the same thing? Fucking clown.
If the title was a NYT headline with two words changed: "Kamala Harris makes an official statement in condemnation of political terrorism" you wouldn't be clutching your pearls, now would you? OP's title is far more factual though, and that's what you actually don't like. You people are so transparent it's laughable.
You sound ridiculous.
