“Jokes aside, and Pelosi’s maybe partial senility aside, in 82 or something, she started off that whole tirade with a complete lie, and that's what lots of Democrats have been doing with respect to this bill. They say it's not a ban.
They say #TikTok is lying to its users when they claim it's a ban. They say that opponents of the bill are making things up or exaggerating when they characterize it as a ban. That is itself a lie to assuage what would otherwise be a very significant uproar from their constituents when they realize that Congress is actually serious about barring them from using one of the most popular apps in the country.
So it's just a lie.”

#FakeNews (red) versus #EmbeddedNews (blue): American #journalists had not reported from within #Gaza – except a few embedded with Israeli troops – because Israel, as the #occupying power in control of the Gaza Strip’s borders, has been denying access to foreign journalists and putting pressure on Egypt to do so as well.

Patrick Lawrence, for SheerPost- I do not know with certainty what went on last year in the matter of children removed from battle zones—this for the simple reason it is impossible to know the facts of the case on the basis of what Western media report. Gall, icing on this cake, does not quote a single Russian official and appears to have interviewed none. But, given how open Russian officials have been about this program, I do not see that we can summarily dismiss their many-times-repeated explanation when they say the intent was to keep children—a lot of them living in orphanages or on the street—out of harm’s way. This is not, after all, the Israel Defense Forces.

#GenocideChronicles: You’re supposed to spend your days and nights running around rubble heaps, ducking gunfire, hoping the murder robots don’t see you, potentially pushing wheelchairs or prams, and you’re supposed to deal with this shit without access to food or water. If you do everything right, The Gospel can still vaporise your family at any moment or blow the limbs off your kids. Your fate is in the hands of an artificial intelligence programmed by people who hate you.

#ReformTheMedia: I’m still stewing over an editorial in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ostensibly penned by Andrew Morse, publisher of the AJC. At no point in the 1,340 word appeal on behalf of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — #CopCity — did he disclose that Cox Communications, which owns his paper and pays his salary, has contributed $10 million to Cop City’s construction and is the largest financial supporter of the project.
And they call me an activist journalist

#TaxBillionairesOutOfExistence: An academic study found that "stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market."

#CensoringAttrocities: There is a deference to those who represent the nation-state, rarely afforded to those who represent the stateless; The words “massacre,” “slaughter,” and “atrocities” are routinely used to describe what Hamas did Yet you’d be hard-pressed to find any of those words attributed to Israel’s actions in Gaza. State terror wears an official mask, with the words “the right to self-defense” emblazoned on it. Meanwhile, we are learning more each day about Israel’s war aims.

#ReformTheMedia. The Nation is way off. The point is to create pockets of degraded refugees whose violent incidental response to oppression can result in eradicating cultures and populations for settler colonial land acquisition via #PermanentWar. Austin etc talking strategy is nonsense, like #COP28 bemoaning industrial control. The border states Jordan, Syria, Egypt know that they will be the future PA, which is why they are keeping their borders closed to the US proxies turning homelands into rubble.
