He was bragging about the “transparency” of the zelensky meeting. Why not make these calls public?

It’s so the republicans/conservatives feel validated by the fact there is a corruption in the government…… the rest of us are just waiting for them to catch onto the fact it’s primarily their own party that is corrupt. Just gotta be patient though as they struggle to grasp these mind of concepts quickly.

Their ignorance is entirely wilful. They’ll still be blaming Biden when they have to hack off their own foot because of the diabeetus.

Just being patient is the biggest issue our elected democrats always face.

Let’s straighten one thing out here… Both sides are corrupt… It’s not your side is better… The Democrats have shown their ass more than they ever have before… They are the same…

Until something changes one side isn’t better than the other… It’s literally the rich vs the poor and the sooner people realize this maybe we can change something…

The whole thing is corrupt…

They are the same…

Not at all. But that doesn’t mean that the resistance is going to coalesce around the Democrats.

Or in case of the above commentor where they have given up on democracy entirely. Typically a mindset for from those whose party is corrupt but they try to flip it around with an attempt of “bOtH pArTiEs” style of argument.

Now I am not saying there is not corruption within the democrats but I would bet it would pale in comparison to the corruption that the republican party is filled with. All of this is validates by the hyprocrisy by which they currently lead.

Now I am not saying all republicans are corrupt either as I do have to say Adam Kinzinger has been garnering a soft spot in me lately.

Trump calls Moscow.

Putin makes him wait on hold for a few hours as a power move.

Putin gets on the phone and says “Fuck with Canada more you piece of shit babushka. I’ll have your daughter killed, bitch.” then hangs up.

Trump tells the ‘Washington Examiner’ that the two leaders have engaged in multiple phone discussions over the past weeks.

Are you thinking of NewsMax or whatever? Newsweek AFAIK is a run-of-the-mill average news source - no NYT but certainly not NY Post.

Newsveek is no longer considered a reliable source. It was reliable until 2013.

And let’s be clear: Until 2013, the majority of Newsweek readership consisted of people waiting in dentist’s offices. It was a reliable source in the same sense as Reader’s Digest.

That is fair.

IBT Media introduced a number of bad practices to the once reputable magazine and mainly focused on clickbait headlines over quality journalism. Its current relationship with IBT Media is unclear, and Newsweek’s quality has not returned to its status prior to the 2013 purchase. Many editors have noted that there are several exceptions to this standard, so consensus is to evaluate Newsweek content on a case-by-case basis.

Lines up with the "nothingburger’ headline. Probably case-by-case is appropriate. Thanks for showing me that!

Oh wow, theres more to this discussion, nicely useful!

says:

evaluate on case-by-case basis

So its kind of in a grey zone, not reliable doesnt mean bad source in that case. Useful link, altough wikipedia is also a grey zone in the sense that its information based on open source (everybody can edit it, and most liked proposals get through as I understand)

maybe as European im not too well versed in US sources and judged too harsh based on anecdotal experience. All the news Ive seen are always on the “nothing has been said” or “thats reaching” side.

my bad then

You’re on the nose with that, which is why ground.news is so vital especially now. You can read about the same story from multiple perspectives and often they’ll have a handy synopsis that has key info from all the writings.

Or for that matter, see through the flood and read about things that matter a lot more.

For the record I can’t comment on this specific article - it may be a nothingburger. I just think Newsweek itself is not inherently problematic.

Newsweek is kind of lowbrow today compared where it was maybe twenty years ago, IMHO, but I wouldn’t call it a source of inaccurate information or anything.
