I'm "fed up" with all the emotive right-wing tabloid style headlines that are contradicted by the articles underneath, and UK journalists doing for Farage what US media did for Trump.
BBC News headline: The 'fed up' Scottish town that voted for Reform UK extract from article: But Reform are by no means universally popular in this town. Susan Snow – a retired nursey operator – told us she wasn't pleased when the party won last week's by-election. She said she doesn't like Nigel Farage and questioned how genuine he is. Another woman we spoke to said that Reform wanted to "bring things back to the old days, the 1930s" and questioned how inclusive the party was.

"AI will free workers up to do more creative tasks"
Television Amazon’s Official ‘Fallout’ Season 1 Recap Is AI Garbage Filled With Mistakes Prime Video's latest needle-poke into generative AI's bubble comes on the heels of its anime dubbing debacle. By Isaiah Colbert Published December 11, 2025 https://gizmodo.com/fallout-ai-recap-prime-video-amazon-2000698573 reddit comment: DinoDanAndThreeCats I'm an editor who literally used to cut these types of recaps together as part of my old job. I would get notes from the client, watch the show, mark up the episodes, and then carefully string together a recap that hopefully had a little stylistic panache while still going over the main points that were needed for the next season. I moved on to other types of editing, but am currently struggling to find much work, as are many talented editors I know with years and years of experience. So yeah...this definitely took someone's job. Screw off, Amazon...it's not like you don't have the money to pay someone.

In which—for 'balance'—an article looking at South Korean celebrity scandals involving accusations of bullying, verbal, physical or sexual assault, drink driving or robbery, is concluded with an anonymous twitter comment against 'digging for flaws'.
headline above a photo of comedian Park Na-rae: 'String of celebrity scandals renews debate on South Korea's 'cancel culture'. "Celebrities are easy targets because their careers depend on reputation and popularity - things that are granted by the public," culture critic Kim Sung-soo tells the BBC. Now, just as Park, Cho Sae-ho and Cho Jin-woong promised to "reflect deeply" on their actions, it appears some among their audiences are also reflecting on how celebrities are treated. "It's absurd that people mistake this recurring pattern of targeting celebrities online - digging for flaws and pushing them out - as a moral issue," one person wrote on X. "I'm tired of this cancel-culture cycle, and I think it's time for our society to seriously rethink online communities."
