This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Public service är den sista försvarslinjen mot fullständig marknadskontroll över nyheter, information, underhållning. När den väl är försvagad eller dödad finns det ingen återvändo. Informationskontrollen har villigt överlämnats till organisationer som prioriterar vinst framför medborgarskap.

Whatever its flaws, public service broadcasting is the last line of defense against complete corporate control of news, information, entertainment. Once it’s weakened or killed, there is no return. You’ve handed informational control over to organizations that will always put profits over citizens.

Can you even begin to imagine what Tony Benn would say about Keir Starmer?

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Funny to hear the political right talk about the BBC and "accountability." Outlets like the Daily Mail, The Express, Fox News, GB News have been shown to have lied over and over. How many of their leaders and senior staff have resigned as a result of proven disinformation? None.

Common reaction to bus crash in Stockholm -- that it MUST have been deliberate -- example of how media coverage of "possible terrorism" preconditions readers. For years, mainstream media hyped incidents (suggesting possible terrorism), then just drop story when it turns out to be something else.

This seems an excessive overreaction for a Director General to resign over that. The BBC is held to *much* higher standards than every other media outlet, on accuracy and inaccuracy, yet inconsistently and arbitrarily in the detail

What would make these numbers more meaningful would be knowing, of the 36% of people who identify identify as “woke” or “anti-woke,” what % can offer a coherent definition of what the term actually means?
18% of people in Britain identify as "woke"
18% of people identify as "anti-woke"
43% as neither
19% don't know what the terms mean [that was half in 2020]

When more people in Sweden can name the Democratic candidate for Mayor of New York than the Prime Minister of neighbouring Finland…maybe — just maybe — there’s a little too much coverage of US politics in Europe.

Valen runt om i USA igår kväll var ett tydligt budskap från väljarna mot presidenten och republikanerna, men alla SVT-rubriker handlar om Mamdani. Ingenting om en viktig omröstning i Kalifornien som skulle kunna ge demokraterna kontroll över kongressen 2026.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

This seems like a pretty big deal lost in the Mamdani/Virginia/NJ news vortex.
Democrats were projected to score a major victory on Tuesday night by winning a pair of statewide offices in Georgia — the first time in 20 years Democrats have won in a non-federal office in that state.
