Good @oknox.bsky.social piece: "A run to the supermarket costs more now than when Trump took office in January, with staples like beef and coffee more expensive for reasons that include his tariffs, though inflation has remained below its apex under Biden." www.usnews.com/news/u-s-new...

You should really, really subscribe to US News & World Report's evening newsletter from @oknox.bsky.social. It's been so consistently good. Today's is on 'trust and media' which obvi I have thoughts on, but this graf does a great job of explaining that troubled phrase www.usnews.com/news/u-s-new...

Essentially, there’s been a rise of people who (mostly) don’t do newsgathering themselves but whose content leans heavily on news developments – usually MSM reports – that they quote to their viewers/listeners/readers. In effect, they validate specific MSM pieces for their audiences, which can number in the millions. (This is neither praise nor criticism, though in my grumpier moods I’ll point out that this amounts to getting news through people not from them.)

The trust here attaches to the influencer. We just bask in reflected trust.
