Of all the most 'Berta things out there, "No Auditor General report that might reveal government corruption can be published during the year before a scheduled election" is about as peak MAGA-but-from-Temu 'Berta as it gets. Nobody buries their successes. #cdnpoli #polisky #Alberta

Think the media’s biased again...
Think the media’s biased against you? You probably think misinformation is too

A new study finds that the same motivated reasoning and partisan instincts that make people see bias in mainstream news also shape how they perceive "fake news."

Interesting parallel here with the violence committed by institutional medical culture, with its embedded tone policing (and in particular rejection of anything resembling kicking upwards inside its toxic hierarchies) vs the expectation of challenge that is indispensable to science. #medsky #polisky

Getting #longCOVID onto the front page of a major newspaper like this is a huge win, and will leave medicine's management class needing to change its underwear. Between this sort of thing and the UK COVID Inquiry Module 3 report, the coverup is crumbling. Next up: accountability #medsky #polisky
