    Stop with the RawStory links. It’s sensationalized garbage pandering to progressive values.

      Per Wikipedia’s sourcing standards:

      There is consensus that Raw Story is generally unreliable for factual reporting, based upon a pattern of publishing false and sensationalized stories. Editors almost unanimously agree that the source is biased and that in-text attribution should accompany each use of the source.

      I brought this up so much in /c/politics, I got sick of it and blocked the sub.

      But tabloids work. As long as the headline is stimulating, upvoters and moderators don’t seem to care.

      It’s a shame you’re getting downvoted cause you’re on the money. People are kidding themselves if they think the Right are the only ones who have cynical media outlets telling them what they want to hear for clicks.
