"Propaganda from the Pentagon: Over the past 24 hours, the Pentagon has seized on a story published by the NYT to whitewash its draconian new press rules—regulations so extreme they prohibit reporters from soliciting tips on social media, bar all photography inside the building, and even forbid sketches of what journalists observe unless permission by the press office is granted. Multiple Pentagon spokespeople have publicly cited the NYT article, which carried the misleading headline "Pentagon Relaxes Press Access Rules," to suggest the restrictions aren't as bas as other reporters are making them out to be. Inside the Pentagon press corps, the reaction has been furious. Reporters who cover the building were already frustrated by the NYT story, but especially now that it is being weaponized in an official propaganda campaign. The NYT story "fucked us," one Pentagon reporter candidly told me.
This is from the most recent edition of the STATUS newsletter; an all-too-common gripe with the NYT is that as an institution, they exhibit little-to-no esprit de corps with the rest of the journalism industry.

GMB has given extensive coverage to the Trump/paracetamol/autism story. Guests have rightly said how wrong it is.
But after a while, I worry about the extent of this coverage, recalling the adage 'if you're explaining, you're losing'.
There's one headline: 'Trump talks bollocks on Paracetamol'.

Zara CEO rules out Russia return, yet products appear in Russian stores three months later
Zara’s CEO said Russia was off-limits. Russian shoppers apparently didn’t get the memo.
Zara’s “exit” from Russia was never real.
Inditex sold its stores to a Lebanese partner under a contract guaranteeing re-entry. Now, Zara and other brands are back in Russian malls—just three months after the CEO swore they wouldn’t return.
Sanctions loopholes + corporate greed = business as usual.

Så blev förskolebarn en finansprodukt
Aftonbladets granskning av Tivoli-koncernen visar hur det är möjligt att snabbt bygga upp en stor förmögenhet på skattefinansierade förskolor. Den svenska skolm
"Det som granskningen visar – att det är möjligt att prioritera vinst före barnens bästa – är exakt vad som kan förväntas av det system som politikerna skapat".
Finns det nån bra svensk motsvarighet till uttrycket "feature, not a bug"?

A “tariff rebate check” is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.

Opinion | Trump’s Vendetta Campaign Targets John Bolton
This FBI raid makes clearer that second-term success for the President includes retribution.
Stern words from the conservative WSJ editorial board: “The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas. We said this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.”

Idag har DN en ledare om att minskade barnkullar ska leda till högre lärartäthet. Samma förhoppning är vanlig om förskolan. Som vi finansierar skolverksamhet idag kommer det bli tvärtom. Vi finansierar nämligen inte skolor utan elever. Och då funkar det så här: ->

Vi är i Litauen hos min mamma. Första kvällen ska det bäddas åt alla och min mamma pekar på ett skåp där extra kuddar finns. Jag öppnar det och längst framme finns en orange ryggsäck.
“Det är min flyktryggsäck” säger mamma. “Ifall ryssar kommer. Påminn mig att jag måste gå igenom den. Uppdatera.”

The FBI As We Knew It is Gone
It took a hundred years to create the Bureau as we knew it. And it took one dinner at the White House to destroy it.
I know we have seen a lot of agencies being hobbled and dismantled over the last six months. But the coup happening at the FBI should worry you the most asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-fbi-as...
