I'm proud to say that when my Stop the Presses newsletter gave out letter grades to news outlets in October, CBS got an F. Is there such a thing as an F-minus?

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I would suggest that people go back and read: "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945".
Nazis come across as VERY normal in conversations where their world view is not challenged. Once you touch on Jews or Hitler, though...
Yikes. And also, it sounds so familiar and relevant.

Skeptics can be persuaded by evidence. They don’t believe a claim at the start, but if they see enough proof, they come around.
Ideologues and conspiracy theorists cannot. They start with their conclusion and push it, no matter what the evidence says, distorting as needed.
RFK Jr. is the latter.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America.
Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy.
They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that.
So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

For the first time in its history, America has a president and first family who are unabashedly corrupt, and a dominant political party that is convinced that large-scale corruption are just the perks that go with power. America never conquered the Middle East but the Middle East conquered America.
