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/

MacFarlane: I’m focused on being an enterprise reporter who gets at the truth and does not abide the whitewashing of history or the erasing of what people have said.We’re not just battling to find news and truth—we’re battling a force that is trying to contaminate and metastasize across all media.

After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.I'm reminded of the words of MLK:"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
