From the article:

In cases like ac2ality, they are providing a "summary" of the news and "not journalism", which requires "investigative work, finding sources and checking their reliability", she added.

Yes, real journalism like reporting about voting machine fraud, presidents born in Kenya, Covid is just the flu, trans women are real women, Trump won, Biden is sharp as a tack, the banks are all safe and healthy, bitcoin is the future, Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos is a genius businesswoman, SVB is the best bank in the US (Forbes cover story 5 days before the collapse).

Real journalists and journalism!

Everyone should have the freedom to crack their head open and spill their brains on the curb. Kind of like the places with no helmet laws for motorcycles. They’re teaching moments for family and friends.

There’s always a financial reason underlying rules like these. Seatbelt laws came about because the injuries from not wearing seatbelts are more traumatic, resulting in high medical costs that insurance companies resisted paying, or people not having insurance so the taxpayer had to pay for the bills, including more extended care costs.

I trust it’s the same for helmets. Traumatic brain injuries many times result in long-term care needed.

Plus, people can’t get back on the treadmill of work and back to paying taxes as quickly.

It’s always the money.

That will likely include an ID check for foreigners.

How did I manage to never be ID checked in 27 years?

The Australian government on Thursday released the wording of a referendum question that promises the nation’s Indigenous population a greater say on policies that effect their lives.

Can't even get through the first sentence without a mistake.

Actually, it suggests that these molecules are present in many of these high carbon asteroids that formed as the planets were forming. That’s it, as much as we’d like to say we have answers.

TikTok is like a vacuum cleaner sucking up the advertising revenue of InstaGram, Twitter, YouTube, all bastions of privacy.

Who benefits from banning TikTok?

I can’t find a single source indicating there is a cure for schizophrenia. Everything says can only be treated with lifelong care to manage it.

I think something is probably wrong with the wording or translation if a hospital claims to be able to cure it.

It’s the same for any mental illness. They can be treated with psychiatric medication, but no psychiatrist or medical doctor has ever credibly claimed to have cured a mental illness.

If someone has cured schizophrenia, it would be a first and publicized widely. If someone can find a source to say schizophrenia or any mental illness has been cured, I’d like to read it.

Like all things, it will be used for evil by someone.

Remember the original Google motto, “Don’t be evil?” They gave that idea up pretty quick.

Is this the one where a woman tells him she thought the vaccine was supposed to keep her from catching Covid, and he explains that it keeps people from getting sicker than they would without it?

The man couldn’t win against the Internet doctors and epidemiologists.

Wait, does this mean that common sense in parenting works?

Well, it was a rhetorical question… ;)

There was the woman on the college football team. She kicked one squiggly 15 yard onside kick heralded as great by breathless announcers.

Its not fair to women athletes who excel against other women. It’s degrading their accomplishments.

A team of average male high school track and field athletes would beat the best women track and field athletes in the world.

Why don’t we see female athletes identifying as males to compete against men?

When he’s arrested soon for the same crime his lawyer Cohen was sentenced to 3 years in prison, Trump will want to be in handcuffs to promote his campaign, before he’s arrested again in Georgia. The woman Trump and Cohen paid off just called him “tiny” on social media. That should rile him up.

Lock him up.

Please fill this form in and send it to your local city office.

Please debit my bank account ¥20,000 per month to pay for underground shelters.

Yeah, restaurants used to pay meagerly hourly rates, so I understand. But those days are gone. Teenagers are making $22/hr to start now at Wendy’s. A server at a high end restaurant is a $100,000+ per year job.

The point is now it seems every business in the US is trying to shame you into tipping.

Tip the dog groomer, tip the bag boy at the supermarket, tip the McDonald’s woman handing you a tray, tip the person handing you a paper cup at Starbucks, tip the donut shop people, pick up take-out food and get shamed into tipping, tip the barber who does a lousy job, tip the politician to get a rezoning passed… :)

You might want to look up jus sanguinis and jus soli.

Most of the world is jus sanguinis.

The Savannah Bananas baseball team need to make a trip to Japan. Google or Youtube if you don’t know of them.

The old geezers would faint.

How ironic. Statistical facts are censored in a thread about trust in media.

Anyone who has witnessed a newsworthy event knows that reporting by “journalists” can be wildly different from the facts, and many are woefully lacking in knowledge about a topic.

Wrong things get parroted constantly by lazy “journalists” and news organizations.

And yet, still half the price of eggs in the US.

He’s probably begging to be put in handcuffs for the perp walk. He’ll turn that into his official campaign poster.

Another false statement.

The IAEA has been there and is very clear it will be safe.

I like your screen name, by the way.

lunatic:

noun

A person who is affected by lunacy; a mentally deranged person.

A very foolish person.

social media shows both sides at least and let’s people decide themselves if it believable or not.

Yeah, but social media also shows that a giant swath of people are dumber than sticks.

It's salt water...

Is not salted anymore. The ALPS system filtered out the salt.

Should be released in Kasumigaseki for all the politicians to drink and shower with.

Nope.

The water is desalinated then recycled as reactor coolant.

The waste is then processed through the ALPS system to remove the radioactive isotopes, but it does not desalinate.

By the way, the final concentration will 1,500 Bcq/l.

The WHO recommends a maximum of 10,000 Bcq/l for drinking water.

The math is left as an exercise for the reader.

The Kori reactor in Korea has releases more than double the amount of tritium in one year than the total of all to be released at Fukushima. Canada, UK and France have released hundreds of time more for 40 years.

Politics and brewing up falsehoods are contaminating the world.

It's salt water...

A nuclear plant in Minnesota is now reporting that 400,000 gallons of water contaminated with tritium leaked in November of last year. The concentration level is reportedly "millions of times higher" than the maximum for drinking water, but are still saying it is "safe."

Neither the company nor the government thought it was important enough to report when it happened. Or were they just trying to keep a lid on the news?

The concentration to be released from Fukushima every year will actually be less than the concentration released every year of normal operation before 3/11. The concentration released every year will be less than half of the amount released every year from the Kora reactor in S. Korea.

Maybe Japan isn't as evil as people like to think.

I guess real intelligence is going out of style.

Black people, who have been mistreated for centuries, have never been financially compensated (reparations).

No one, or their parents, or grandparents or great-grandparents in the US was a slave. The 1960's were two generations ago. There is nothing stopping anyone in the US from thriving and succeeding. What's stopping you?
