Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/sometimes-it... I wrote last week about two villains and one hero in the battle between truth and lies. Well here’s another hero - the Sheffield Tribune, one of the Mill stable of independent news sites, had the courage to publish an important story despite legal threats..
Sometimes it’s worth the risk

open.substack.com/pub/dandiamo... Here’s a great example of how the social media industry is wired to prefer colourful false information over the mundane truth
A man collapsed in the Oval Office. The internet got the story wrong.

It was chucking it down when the prof drove us to the park early this morning. But we ended up, despite a bit of barking at other dogs, having a great walk with #sophiefromromania who rediscovered the graveyard after months of being scared of it. So we all deserved a #bigbreakfast

This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.
