Fetterman Presides Over Senate Wearing Short-Sleeve Shirt, No Tie, And Shorts
A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say "what's the big deal?" But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

...Why are we allowing Daily Wire here?
Same reason we keep seeing "mediaite" - I assume this community has no standards.
The current community policy seems to be we're responsible for vetting our own sources. I understand that philosophy, though I think a mod comment with materials on reliability.
I would really like to see a bot that posts media bias information from one of the trusted sites for that information on every post. I’m not capable of creating one but had looked around and unfortunately none of them seem to offer an api.
I could potentially program one, a simple TypeScript bot probably wouldn't be too hard. I'll look into it later.
If you don't like a source, downvote it. The Fediverse is quite large and people have different opinions which is how politics works.
As for bias, though it is a strong right-wing it doesn't fall outside the creditable category. It doesn't hurt to read and understand what the other side is saying.
I've already downvoted it; my concern is mainly that DailyWire gives a voice to the likes of Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and Candace Owens. I'm not fond of taking the "it's just a differing opinion" with the viewpoints espoused by those three and others like them. Not all viewpoints are equal and not all deserve a platforming. My concern is that by allowing their other content, other Lemmings may see a DW article and consider it on equal footing with one that doesn't also platform hate speech. Let's not forget Daily Wire paid for Matt Walsh's "What Is a Woman."
So you believe that opposes view points than your own should be censored? Our policy here is that we refuse to be an echo chamber where opposing views are not allowed. We WANT both sides represented so that mutual understanding can be formed. That means you will be exposed to opposing views, many you won't agree with. That is the heart of politics and the purpose is to find common ground and compromise.
Deleted my original comment, because I immediately saw this coming. I'm not interested in defending why attacking trans folks and denying systemic racism is bad, or why queer people aren't actually The Devil(TM).
Allowing alternate viewpoints is valid. Giving an entire site which regularly platforms hate and spreads disinformation (by your own earlier link, DW is middling at best) is not. Daily Wire has shown a consistent and intentional willingness to lie, misrepresent, and foment hate.
But sure. Hold on to your "both sides." Have a nice day, I'll see myself out.
So, yes, you want an echo chamber. That's not the type of close minded community we have here. There are several ultra left wing only communities that might appeal to you. As for your single issue, we don't allow hatred toward any group here nore does LW in general.
Disagreeing with platforming misinformation = ultra-left-wing??? In what universe?
Censorship is a mark of both ends of the political spectrum.
To point and laugh at them.
Don't give them clicks dummy. They don't care if you like them or not. They just want attention.
How bout I'll do what I want and you can fuck off.
Reddit is that way buddy --->
Okay, have fun over there. Don't forget to not write.
