I’ve been here a couple of times, the lobby is far from the ballroom.

Nominally independent media institutions celebrating press freedom by serving canapés to president fake news is some bleak, black comedy but the venue is chef’s kiss

There’s a lot more than there used to be:

The capture of US media orgs is accelerating. And the UK is next in line. The BBC has fallen to an AI hype guy. And my old newspaper, the Observer, is publishing Palantir puff pieces. But why? I have no idea. But in Companies House I found the Obs has a mystery investor: the North Hatley Trust.2/
