How Trump plays you:
He posts a claim undermining the facts about January 6.

YOU ALL DISSEMINATE IT!!!

You don't mock that he's complaining that the FBI responded to a terrorist attack. You instead "fact check" re his claim that Joe Biden was in charge of the FBI--which is abt tribalism, not truth

Which, if polls are to be believed, encompasses a large proportion of the population

That's the root problem

CDC β€˜Not Functional’ After Trump Administration Orders Mass Firings The layoffs targeted leaders in departments related to respiratory diseases, chronic diseases and global health.

β€œCDC will have lost its ability to detect outbreaks and respond to them. It will no longer be able to track diseases, in America and around the globe. That includes infectious threats like flu, foodborne illnesses, and Ebola, as well as chronic diseases and injuries.”

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight We have come through a period of often shameful journalism, bending the knee to Downing Street. Can our journalism recover?

British journalism has been through a shameful era – bending the knee to Downing Street.

Can it ever recover its dignity? Peter Thurlow wonders.

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton

He earns Β£1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations

His girlfriend pays Β£885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.

He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Chris Hedges sets out truths about the 'peace plan' that so many western journalists avoid.

Truths that National Press Club members,
especially the ones who have accepted Israeli junkets and drunk the Zionist Kool-Aid,
preferred not to be confronted with? #GazaGenocide #NPC #auspol

Trump’s Sham Peace Plan There will be no peace in Gaza. Only the temporary absence of war.

Written by Chris Hedges

β€œHow is it possible that a peace proposal ignores the ICJ’s July 2024 Advisory Opinion, which reiterated that Israel’s occupation is illegal and must end?

How can it fail to mention Palestinian’s right to self-determination?”

As international journalists re-enter Gaza they are discovering a city turned to rubble, even more than Berlin was at the end of WW2, filled with corpses of women and children scattered everywhere.

Revealing that is apparently a 'digital holocaust'.

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.

Yes with qualifications

It's very good for local sales

But lots of scam artists (from all over the world)

Accept bank transfer (they pay BEFORE you hand over or post the thing; or on the spot but only after you see the money went into your account) or cash

Meet at a public location not your home

because the neoliberalism she pioneered in the UK, which devastated two, going on three, generations of Britons, became the economic consensus in the entire western world for the next 40 years and still won't die

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam β€œSubu” Vedam now faces deportation.

This is absolutely horrendous...and entirely predictable.

Mohamed Al Fayed may have raped and abused at least 111 women and girls, say police Scale of criminality would make Fayed, who died last year at the age of 94, one of Britain’s most notorious sex offenders

Watching Piers Morgan drag out the β€œwhat is a woman” question with Zack Polanski and using it to try and diminish Polanski and then reminded that Morgan’s allyship to women stretches all the way to calling Mohammed Al Fayed β€œa bit of a rascal”
