“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

If you were to believe the mainstream media, nobody likes anything in Labour’s Budget.
This YouGov suggests that's BS and that more people think the policies were right than wrong, some overwhelming so;
Of 15, 8 are 50%+ right, 4 are 50%+ wrong.
That's quite an achievement in itself.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Scrapping the two-child cap is both anti-poverty & pro-learning.
Children don’t come to school ready to learn if they live in poverty. Teachers can’t focus on teaching if they’re plugging gaps elsewhere.
What goes on outside the school gates makes a big difference inside them.

The BBC budget "analysis" consists mostly of voxpops by people complaining bitterly about Labour taxing too much and roughly an equal amount of people complaining bitterly about Labour spending too little.
