Thanks; that worked for me 👍

An iron dome to protect against what? If we’re going to spend money building one, it’s Ukraine that needs one, not the US.

I’m guessing they included that to distract people from the other executive orders.

Since Voice of America is a state run media outlet, perhaps next time another outlet’s article on the story would be less prone to bias.

Using life imprisonment to maintain a low-cost source of labor without giving undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship; sounds familiar…

Optimistic to assume Israel intends to let Gaza stay Palestinian for that long…

Aside from the organization’s charter mandating editorial independence, the BBC being publicly-funded by the country’s annual broadcasting fee ensures that it does not need to pander to politicians to conduct its operations. It’s far more effective at this than PBS, which is more likely to be biased due to its need for corporate and charitable sponsors.

RT in contrast is only accountable to the Russian government, and ultimately Putin, and is thus unable to maintain editorial independence from the government’s national and foreign policy interests.

RT is a mouthpiece of the Russian government; the only “other side of the story” that would come from it would not only be misleading, but also promote the authoritarianism, war crimes, and aggression of the Russian government.

In an age when LLMs make reading the truth harder and harder, blacklisting publications that are guaranteed propaganda is essential.

In the same vein, even though I’m fully supportive of Ukraine and its right to self-defense, I don’t think people should use any of the equivalent American propaganda agencies (U.S. Agency for Global Media: Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Middle East Broadcasting Networks, and Office of Cuba Broadcasting), since their reporting is often deliberately biased in favor of American foreign policy interests. Furthermore, there’s plenty of Western media sources not backed by state interests, so they’re never the only source on something anyhow.

The only reliable public broadcasting organizations are those with independent operations financed via public contributions, such as the BBC.

Private broadcasting organizations often have bias as well, with tabloids and extremist sources such as Newsmax being just as unreliable and misleading as state-backed outlets, so vigilance in maintaining a line in the sand between journalism and propaganda is essential.

It’s crazy that he can grift his supporters again and again and only get -more- support in the process…

Returning to a state of stable government as soon as possible seems like an important priority, rather than delaying it as much as possible…

They probably made more than $20 million from kids buying loot boxes without parental consent, making the fine just a cost of doing business…

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a third-party email program with functioning gesture support. Trying to switch to Linux before Windows 10 is deprecated myself, but since my grandma uses a Surface Pro in tablet mode, I opted to just install an older version of the Mail and Calendar program on Windows to remove the redirect-to-outlook component, with Microsoft Store auto-updates disabled.

It’s still Chromium-based though, and therefore Manifest MV2 extensions that are far more effective at ad-blocking are no longer supported. Better to use Firefox or a derivative of it.
