          Do I really have to spell it out like for a five year old?

          Why did you not post the link you commented instead of the Politico-link?

            Because to me Politico is good enough. I did however add a second link for people with an aversion to politico, as a courtesy.

            I get that you don’t like politico, but that’s not my problem. I post links that I find interesting. You don’t have to read them. You can even block me to avoid seeing any of my links. That’s fine, I don’t mind.

            I strongly disagree with the idea of “Only sources that I find acceptable should be allowed”. You don’t have to agree, and nobody is stopping you from posting your own content. I won’t even complain about your sources, I promise.

              I mean, I think I remember a comment of yours stating you’d only use Politico if you couldn’t find another source on a matter.

                Did I? I might have tbf, can’t remember.

                I’m not out to antagonize people, but also if the best article on a subject is Politico then I’m not going to avoid posting it. The second link was some sort of dodgy blog that could have been run by literal Nazis for all I know. I hope not, but I don’t know.

                I still call on the anti-Politico brigade to post interesting articles from other sources. I check the feed before I post and if the subject is already there I don’t post the same news again.
