The X factor: A nine month investigation by Sky News' Data and Forensics team graphically shows how much X's algorithm amplifies right-wing and extreme content.
A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Critical thinking - the Daily Mail certainly doesn't want you nor your kids to be able to spot lies 👀 #fightfakenews #misinformation
School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Trump copying the Putin playbook: cultivate public apathy.
At a time of multiple international crises, the Pentagon’s official positions will be relayed by Timcast, The Epoch Times, LindellTV and the Gateway Pundit, which means that many people simply won’t believe Pentagon statements at all. Which might be the point
