The decline in spin and rise of our and out lying in politics is bad. Campbell respected his audience and expected them to buy what he was selling. The Betting and Gaming Council don't care this is ridiculous.
And they say satire's dead. 😂

"Far from the outdated stereotypes, today’s bookmakers are lively community hubs. During the festive season especially, betting shops take on a special atmosphere filled with excitement, companionship and familiar routine that many people look forward to each year."

A genuinely dispiriting thing about covering sexual violence is how often the suffering of women and children is metabolized as political point-scoring or titillating entertainment.
one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

The commonality bt the 60 Minutes Fiasco and the failed Jeffrey Epstein rollout is the incompetence of the person leading the effort.
NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up.

She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12.

She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions.

She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits.

Bad to have UK party leaders lying
Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

Choosing to die in a domestic prison because a random foreign government is up to no good is just *weird*. Bobby Sands was in the IRA fighting against the British, the actual group who were oppressing his people.
