Politicians will claim all sorts of bullshit about needing to keep Trump on-side, maintaining influence etc, but 'journalists' don't need to do that. Why aren't 'news' outlets reacting to Trump's crazy with a commensurate level of outrage? He should have been crucified by now...

I'm impressed that Trump found a new use for Guantanamo's torture camp. Although maybe it's not technically a new use?

These hydrant conspiracies are “not only untrue, it completely misunderstands how water supply for firefighting works.”
from me: the lies spreading across social media about the horrifying L.A. fires (which are quite similar to the conspiracies that emerged in the wake of Hurricane Helene) reveal one grim truth about our future—this is just how every coming climate disaster will play out in our info environment

Honestly, I don’t see how fact-checking stops free speech.
If anything, it protects it by keeping conversations grounded in truth.
Without it, lies spread like wildfire, and that’s not free speech—it’s chaos.
Prioritizing truth doesn’t silence anyone; it just keeps the dialogue real.💯

What has 'changed' Labour changed for you? Was it refusing to scrap the two-child benefit limit, scrapping winter fuel payments, denying Waspi women justice, increasing tuition fees, going full-speed ahead on privatising the NHS, or was it just the ability to suck all hope directly from your soul?

Could the media please stop breathlessly reporting the "growing cost" of the #NDIS? This is a vile IPA/LNP/NewsCorp message. It treats Australians with disabilities as a "burden" on society. [This headline is from 2018. That's how long they've been pushing this grubby narrative.] 😠 #auspol

New Administrative Review Tribunal (replacing AAT) has operated for 2 months and hasn't published a SINGLE decision. AAT published 12 or more a day. Says tech issues are to blame but won't commit to publishing at least as many decisions as predecessor. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...
Exclusive: New tribunal yet to publish a single decision
The Administrative Review Tribunal, which was intended to restore transparency and trust, has released none of the decisions from its first two months of operation, owing to technical problems.
