Article pertaining to how the current president is portrayed in media pulled from r/politics due to being “off-topic” yet the China virus is political.

Claimed that “media” is off topic. Don’t see anything in their rules pertaining to that. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/wiki/index?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

It seems you may be learning that r/politics is just a left wing echo chamber. Welcome! In case it wasn't clear, r/politics is a left wing echo chamber.

Yeah was just mod muted for 7 days after I asked them how they determine an article that involves the past and present president is not relevant.

To be fair is The Hill not a right wing echo chamber? I think the article is irrelevant currently because no one cares about Trump anymore or comparing him to Biden. The differences aren't hard to find. However, hate crimes against asians are on the rise and very much the current news.

You can't seriously think no one cares about trump anymore. No one has stopped talking about him.

People only refer to Trump anymore when comparing how bad things used to be and also when talking about changing policy he was involved in. At least if you're looking at left wing news. If you look at right wing news they're still comparing literally everything to the "Bloody" Trump era.

The fabricated hate crimes against Asians you mean.

I genuinely hope you're trolling.

Every rub and tug massage place is owned and operated by Asians in Atlanta. You can't go to a massage parlor and not find Asians. This would be the equivalent of walking into a fire station and not expecting to find firefighters in there. The shooter said he shot them because the massage parlors enabled his sex addiction. It had nothing to do with race yet the media will not do anything but play that angle and people like you jump on the band wagon.

How does that pertain to politics?
-2 u/PoliteChandrian 23 Mar 2021 04:49
Current events are politics.

r/politics isn't a left-wing echo chamber, it's a Democratic Party echo chamber & that's an entirely different thing

It is the unwritten rule of having to follow the "narative"

Because it is? This doesn't have anything to do with actual politics other then the fact that he's the president
