"Gov. Ron DeSantis axed funding on Thursday for Central Florida projects to stop flooding during the next hurricane, strengthen government cybersecurity defenses, celebrate Black history and tackle gun violence."
From Orlando Sentinel

I can understand why the budding fascist, gun loving racist freak, doesn't support gun control or Black history, but flood prevention and cyber security?
Why does Desantis hate Florida?

@verdantsquare (Not only) Russian propaganda is an even bigger threat to the free world's democracies when involving Artificial Intelligence.

@verdantsquare
The Guardian, Wapo, and the NYT regurgitating a story based on an anonymous, unverifiable source. Yesterday, NSC spokesman John Kirby joined Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryan in characterizing the spy base story as "inaccurate".
The spy base fairy tale originated in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, hardly a credible source. But Anti-China and Anti-Cuba propagandists have have had a field day with this nonsense.

@axios stop covering up hateful prejudice with the word conservative.

Exactly!

The former guy is right … if they can come after him they can come after you.

But first, you have to commit multiple crimes, in multiple states that include rape, tax evasion, the theft of top secret documents, multiple incidents of obstruction of Justice, election meddling, inciting violence, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

@verdantsquare Their knowledge of the rainforest made it possible for them to survive. They had learned this knowledge because their indigenous community taught it to them.

The fact that Trump's indictment comes during the writer's strike and no late night hosts are able to comment on it is just great tbh.

One off cases and speculation off newspaper clippings is hardly science.

The media (and politicians) are not particularly known for portraying the state of science or statistics accurately, indeed, they veer towards sensationalism.

Some right-wing rags are known to spread rumor, hearsay, and to misrepresent things, particularly when it pertains to a "hot issue" political issue.

I've seen reaches which might even arguably be defamatory, in some countries, where they really toned up the paranoiac lens to try to demonize someone.

I've also seen very clever wording and strategic omissions which seem intended to mislead someone.

Then, there are outlets which only appear to read another's headline, or which quote another with even less context.

Even a media outlet operating in better faith might not be aware of details and might regurgitate things they might have "heard of".

There is also a bias involved where the media might pick up a matter or case, precisely because it is so unusual or grabs their interest.

Trying to generalize such sensational cases to what typically happens misses that point entirely.

In fact, Demonizing Sexual Minorities 101 is where you go through to dig for that one weird bizarre case, perhaps involving crime, air that out in a media outlet, and slap on a negative framing.

What that ignores is that every population has some degree of crime, and it doesn't logically follow that because there is some bizarre case, that an entire population should be demonized.

Even in that case, a media outlet can omit information which doesn't contribute to a particular frame, and might even contradict it.

Even they own up to it, expect it to happen in what is virtually a back channel, and to be discussed among a small group who follow such corrections closely.

When Boris Johnson was breaching his own Covid laws, and partying with his cronies, people died alone, in underfunded NHS hospitals, from the pandemic he glibly suggested the UK could take on the chin.

He is incapable of shame and should be held, forever, in absolute contempt.

The latest Trump indictment is part of a process that could steer the United States back toward the rule of law.

The alternative is stark: If Trump -- or Trumpism -- regains the presidency and Congress, democracy will not survive.

This should be obvious now to every journalist, even the most weak-kneed, both-sides normalizers of extremists. And it's long past time for Big Journalism to act accordingly.

Yet when you look at the coverage, you see that business as usual prevails.

He's on the Homeland Security Committee. Oof! @RepClayHiggins must resign.
