      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.

        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!

      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.

        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?
