Comment on Grave Concerns Over White House Efforts to Transfer Nuclear Tech to Saudi Arabiaparent

Comments

I've seen lots of unflagged articles on here about world events which aren't necessarily related to tech, and given that this is a .gov website, there shouldn't be (as much) concern about it being politically charged.

It's a news release from a representative's office. Surely a news article from a reputable outlet would be less "politically charged" (whatever that means)?

This is from the House Oversight committee, a group made up of a bipartisan group of congressmen whose job is to oversee, investigate and report on the actions of the executive branch.

Yes, it is from the committee, but after watching GOP-controlled House committees operate for the past eight years, it's hard to claim that they can't be partisan. I'm not claiming that it's not accurate (I'd expect it to be much more factual than anything the GOP would put out), but I'd expect a well-researched news article (with actual competent journalism—not just both-sides he-said-she-said garbage) to be less "political".

Because government (in this case, a committee of the House of Representatives) is apolitical?
