Your enemy is not immigrants.
Your enemy is not refugees.
It isn’t people living on welfare.
Your enemies are the oligarchs; whose wage theft and greed has made this world the mess it is.
Until the Billionaires, and the politicians they own, have been defeated; none of us are safe.

I guess I overestimated this lame stunt's lifespan when I said a month.
It looks like the White House stopped updating its bias tracker. I can't say I've conducted a comprehensive review, but I don't see anything past early December, and the current "offender of the week" is a report from Dec. 4.

The White House bias tracker is a reprehensible attack on the free press. It’s also so corny and lame that we doubt anyone will be paying attention to it a month from now.

This year Americans have been told who is and is not a criminal. But unlike over 70% of those detained by ICE, Trump has pardoned actual violent criminals, child sex abusers and fraudsters. All they have to do is make him rich.

End of shareholder revolt register ‘will help UK firms bury pay controversies’
Fears for transparency and governance after closure of public log meant to curb ‘abuses and excess’ in boardrooms
UK-listed companies will be able to bury controversies over executive pay for the first time in eight years, a thinktank has warned, after the Labour government shut down a public tracker meant to curb “abuses and excess in the boardroom”.
The public register was launched under the Tory prime minister Theresa May in 2017 to name and shame companies hit by shareholder revolts at their annual general meetings (AGMs). That included rebellions over issues such as excessive bonuses or salary increases for top earning bosses. Continue reading...
