I spoke to @sherifink.bsky.social about the challenges of reporting on the Hantavirus outbreak, scientific literacy, fear-mongering vs “calm-mongering”(?!), and what lessons we’ve learned since COVID. #F24 #hantavirus f24.my/BvPv

Polls in the US suggest the #IranWar is unusually unpopular compared with past conflicts. There’s been propaganda and video-game footage but also excellent reporting and analysis. I spoke to Negar Mortazavi about the extremes of US media coverage. #F24 f24.my/Bnc0

More than 60 actions taken by President Trump during his first month in office bear the fingerprints of Project 2025, the right-wing blueprint for overhauling the federal government. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025 (Gift Article)
President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administration’s actions so far have mirrored it.

This “NATO transcript” is fake and I’m sad to see people repost it. I’m reporting it and blocking the account that originally posted it. Always worth checking your sources before you repost stuff that conveniently affirms all your political feelings, whatever side you’re on.
Post from a Bluesky account called scottdagostino.ca: “An astonishing exchange today between Pete Hegseth and a European reporter who has no time whatsoever for his bullshit. How I wish American media had an ounce of this steel.” Followed by a fake grandstanding transcript of an unnamed “European reporter” asking Pete Hegseth why the US didn’t win in Vietnam and so forth.

Undocumented immigrants with no other criminal record have been transferred to Guantanamo. Access to lawyers, denied. Their families kept in the dark. Why were they taken from the U.S. and moved to a prison designed for terrorists? Unclear. Evidence suggests it might be because of their tattoos.

Some US media avoided using the term ethnic cleansing in regards to Trump’s Gaza plan. Was this prudence or folly? Meanwhile certain French media appeared glossed over humanitarian and legal concerns to explore Gaza’s tourism potential. We discuss on this edition of Scoop. youtu.be/EY2CoAwv2fM?...
