Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

It's both. I'm very disappointed by this. I had hoped Biden would maintain integrity on this.
Side note - it's funny to watch how quickly leftists are descending into maga-like craziness defending this obvious abuse of power.
"Trump did worse" is not a principle.
25 comments in and I haven't seen a single person defend this blatant corruption.

And that's just a few from this post.
Thanks, but I'm not interested in reading a bunch of cherry-picked comments.
I made no claim that none of the posts the OP was whining about existed, only implied that they were exaggerating as I didn't see a single one while reading every single comment up until I reached OPs.
The term "cherry-picked" isn't applicable here since it implies I'm leaving out context or other information, but you already had context (the comments doing the opposite of defending), I simply showed you what you claimed to not see.
The term is applicable because unless you provided those comments in the order you viewed comments in this post (which was the claim of my initial comment), you specifically sought out comments with the bias you were looking for, disregarding comments that did not fit the narrative.
Yes I specifically sought out the comments you didn't see, what's so hard to understand about that?
I responded with the list of comments you claimed you didn't see, you already saw the other comments, why would I include them?
i.e. cherry picking.
Holy shit you only had to answer them, not pee on them
