“Displays Contradictions” instead of “Flaunts Hypocrisy”

List of headlines from media covering FDA, most emphasizing the claim that covid killed children

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Trump now does all his press avails sitting down. He is in pain, obviously. Plus, this way we can't see his decaying skin or swollen cankles. Here, they seem to have debuted a new location for him to rant and insult questioners while staff adds more gold-painted swirlies to the Oval.

ICE going after Native Americans is the perfect (disgusting) metaphor for the sick, depraved, racist work they're doing.

Consumer sentiment has sunk to one of the lowest levels on record. Views of personal finances are the lowest since 2009. Meanwhile, BLS skipped the Oct CPI report & will delay the Nov report till 12/18. Oh, and insurance premiums are ballooning for everyone, ACA or not. Happy Thanksgiving.

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

Holy smokes

If they had any integrity, the next actual journalist to interview musk would raise these points (in a factual and non-gotcha/sensational manner) and get him to address the actual impact (bigger deficit) of his DOGE antics.

Her hair of very quickly noting that her interview subject is lying, then RUSHING to move onto a different topic. What kind of moronic journalism technique is this?

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

product planning doesn't appear to be a strength at Stellantis, does it?

6% is coming "next year" just like the GOP health care plan is coming in "two weeks"

Trump loves to say that in his first 3 years the US had 'the best economy in the history of the world' ... but we know he has never seen any actual data. For the uninformed, here's the info.

holy smokes, it is STUNNING!

would be nice if "news" channels showed these charts the next time trump shares his delusion that the economy is "so hot right now" or other such lies and drivel.

lol. lmao, even.

looks fine. but sedans are a forgotten market (for domestic makers obv). not sure this would have changed the equation at all.

that interior design in absolutely stunning!

I see they're showing their take on the BMW Panoramic Vision. Such a superior alternative to the screen cancer other makers are leaning into.

Vance is calling half the country he (supposedly) serves “the enemy” and placing collective blame for a killing by a loner assassin.

Leadership!

Musk also announced a 500 megawatt data center development within Human, a project entirely funded by MBS.

Hey, times change.

Seems bad. But I’m sure Scott Bessent can explain how this is a) Biden’s fault and b) actually not important.

I miss the days when tweets were limited to 280 characters

What a complete tool he’s become

Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.

His habit of cussing in speeches is accentuating. We seem to have lost any expectation of formality, dignity, or honesty from this cretin. Imagine Obama saying “ass” repeatedly in a speech. We’d STILL be hearing about how horrible it was today, decades later. Expect zero coverage about this, though.

The letters are HUGE. But the truck is insane. Crazy world.
