The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Incredible. This morning on the BBC site story was titled "Puppy farm ban promised in plans to improve animal welfare" with puppy pic up top. Later changed to "Hen cages and pig crates face ban" and gives top focus to policy's opponents. The puppy/RSPCA angle is 20 paragraphs in, as "meanwhile". ~AA

In cases like this I always want to give the journalists / editors the benefit of the doubt, but honestly this is pretty brazen. I really worry that major news organisations in the UK are honing content to social media mores in incredibly damaging ways now, and don't even realise how damaging it is.

As a man of the people, I will always defend trail hunting, which I know is a top priority for all my working class constituents who own horses and enjoy simple pleasures like ripping foxes apart for laughs.

We can talk about the economics and whether the EU would allow it but, from a domestic politics POV, rejecting the idea would be perverse.
The only groups Labour might hope to appease wouldn't be and are a minority.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

The government is announcing a raft of animal welfare measures that include a ban on trail hunting, claiming they're just a smokescreen that masks the hunting of real animals.

Boxing day hunts to be thing of the past with trail hunting set to be banned
Trail hunting sees a scent laid out for the hunt to follow rather than a real animal, and was introduced as a replacement for fox hunting, which was banned by Labour in 2004
