Voat News and Politics
A space where submissions related to BOTH politics and general news can be posted without censorship.
We ask that subscribers self-moderate by both using their votes on submissions and comments and by reporting spam/illegal content for removal.
If someone is rude let them know with your vote. It is not the role of the moderators to police "politeness".
If you think a comment or a post is quality, up-vote it.
Have fun and use your votes!
PLEASE UPVOTE ARTICLES YOU LIKE!!

It is an odd way of lying about Obama hiking on a glacier in order to cross something off his list.
I doubt the acts of either hiking or of exploring glaciers are even remotely near the things he is driven to accomplish, before he dies.
Also any friends I've ever had of African American genetics are loathe to spend time in any kind of cold environment.
They keep their thermostats at 85 all winter, because their bodies are hard wired for hot tropical climates.
The NYT has become a pathetic status quo chearleader for the existing hegemons, and is dismally failing at even gradeschool level partisan shillery.

Yeah they really turned to shit recently, the Washington Post is the same. American news in general actually to be totally honest, all of them show a clear bias one way or the other.

Agree. I could live with the bias, but stories are also dumbed down to the point of uselessness. Mainly read British Commonwealth and German newspapers now.
