“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”

There is no "Left of Center Main Stream Media".
The need for profit (read: clicks and advertisements) to create a "Left of Center" network stifles it's ability to explore "Leftist" positions, and will ultimately result in the network to drift back to the right.

Great to see emissions beginning to fall as more and more renewable energy enters our grid. This is what happens when you set clear targets, and back them with a robust plan—unlike the Coalition’s zero target and zero plan, which would see both emissions and the cost of energy rise.
Australia records biggest annual drop in emissions outside pandemic
Record output from renewable energy means emissions from coal plants are down as Australia’s greenhouse output has fallen for the first time in years.

Journalists are supposed to be experts in the use of words. But they call what is happening in Gaza, a “ceasefire” when this blatantly not. They call the absurd missive dictated by Russia, a “Peace Plan” when it is blatantly obvious it is not. Why do journalists conspire to mislead?
