The biggest deception of the digital age is a media ecosystem that seems on its face like it offers a diversity of perspectives and open access to the public square, all while oligarchs’ algorithms imperceptibly control the entire discourse in service of their desired political outcomes.

This is such shameless "journalism." Framing Donald Trump's unpopularity because of his obnoxious incompetence as a selfless, noble act? Newsweek is now just rubbish propaganda.

The plan for the war is to the lie to the public about the war. This sometimes leads to ridiculous things, like the president announcing that Iran wants to lower gas and diesel prices but he won't let them, and telling the Iranians that they're right to see the upcoming US midterms as leverage.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter (well worth the subscription price) has the reason Fox fired Maria Bartiromo. Darcy says Fox bosses ordered staff in writing not to amplify Trump’s voter fraud lies in his July 16 prime-time speech. She tipped off the White House, showing them Fox’s order to staff.
It's unclear whether Trump or someone at the White House inquired with Bartiromo about the lack of coverage. But ultimately Bartiromo spilled the secret, Status has learned, divulging to the White House that Trump’s speech had received scant coverage on the channel because network bosses had ordered it so. I'm even told the text message in which Fox News brass offered their guidance was shared by Bartiromo with the White House. In doing so, Bartiromo not only effectively betrayed her employer, but also disclosed confidential company information, violating the terms of her employment agreement.
