Has this been a soul-searching moment for the fact-checking industry? Everything Harris says came, or is coming, true. And so much of it was labeled as "misleading" or "lacking context" at the time, on the grounds of "but he said he wouldn't!" (see, e.g. www.npr.org/2024/08/25/g... from @npr.org)

This is called ‘Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs’.
Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs
 
Fake news travels fast.
Post in haste, regret immediately.
Two’s company, three’s a crowdsourcing campaign.
AI for an eye, an untruth for a truth.
Beware of geeks bearing gifs.
Caesar’s Wi-Fi must be above suspicion.
A scrolling phone gathers no moss.
Share and share and like.
Don’t feed the troll that bites you.
Empty influencers make the most noise.
Every blog has its day.
Blessed are the content creators.
There’s a time and podcast for everything.
Do not judge clickbait by its cover.
A WhatsApp a day keeps your mother at bay.
All’s well that trends well.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
teach a man to phish and you pheed him for a lifetime.
Every cloud has a data centre.
Spam tomorrow and spam yesterday – and always spam today.
The end justifies the memes.

Is there a better value company option on the #ASX than $AW1O.asx? In the money, nearly 2 years to expiry, $AW1O.asx only needs to increase 17% on today’s prices to break even and gives massive exposure to #copper and #indium in the US and Canada.
