    Didn’t know it was possible for .gov websites to be operated by non-governmental entity. Weird.

    That being said, what’s everyones issue with my comments? Even worse, with me moderating c/serbia and c/cooperatives?

    Edit: Could it be because I’m Serbian or something? A while back a guy on Reddit thought I was a Russian troll because it was, according to him, given that I would support Russia because I’m Serbian. Could be the same racist shit I guess.

      The website is owned and controlled by the HoR and the HoR is controlled by Republicans. The problem isn’t necesarily the facts listed in the report. The problem is the tone and language used to relay it. It is telling us how to feel about the facts instead of letting us decide how we feel. You can see this in the fact that the report is called “Startling Stats”. They set the feeling for the report before you even open it. It makes me question how the facts are spun to support their narrative. If it were a social media post it would be clickbait.
