why do you think that this guy talking to his fellow politicians is news worthy?

I'm one one of the downvoters, so I'll try giving you an answer. As an American, it's newsworthy to me when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is publicly calling out the other justices for behavior he deems unbecoming a justice. I had not realized that @news was specifically for European news? And I think perhaps YOU had not realized that in America, the supreme court is theoretically above politics. A justice is not a politician. Again, in theory. Lately our supreme court has been behaving very much like bought-and-paid-for politicians, and that should be concerning to all Americans.

There is a whole world out there. Right now @new is around 50% US. How is it a good thing? Look at this from a non US perspective. You open your news feed and nearly half of it is about US politicians doing the political dance.

If you have political news to post, please post them at least in a political magazine, not in news.

Lately our supreme court has been behaving very much like bought-and-paid-for politicians, and that should be concerning to all Americans.

This is not news, everyone around the planet know that your politicians are sold to the richest people. Again, keep it into political magazines, or we will be flooded.

Do you really want US politics to flood each sub like what happened on reddit?

TIL the US isn't part of the world.
