How is this emotionally driven? It seemed like a dispassionate presentation of factual material to me.

Of course, no presentation of facts is without bias of some sort (if only via their choice of which facts to present), so don't ever stop thinking critically. But flagging/censoring any presentation of facts (even biased) never helps, regardless of your viewpoint. If you disagree, write or promote a thoughtful take that explains why.

I'm politically very conservative, and I'm super grateful for this. The intense political polarization in the US tends to allow party-line adherence on either side to substitute for accountability to the truth, and that is a disaster regardless of which side is currently in power. Whatever side you're on, please have the guts to hold your side's leaders accountable to the truth, not just the opposite side's leaders. We will all suffer if just one side fails to do that.

I strongly disagree with your assessment. Are you unhappy that it's discussing how the wealthy people are getting control of the us? Please make dispassionate arguments to support your views.

How exactly is reporting on CECOT hysteria?

I guess you have no problem with erosion of liberal freedoms as long as you’re not affected.

That's a dumb take. Burying your head in the sand won't change reality.

If you cared to even watch the content you flagged, you'd have seen one of the former prisoners was a young college student with no criminal ties. I'm from south America and also went to college in the US. It could've been me.

Give me a break. What do you think this is?

It's off-topic, per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

This submission is literally a TV news broadcast.

There are lots of other places on the internet where this is on-topic, I wish people would have their debates there instead.
