![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports".
". could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".. means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned". means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

The Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy document has the intellectual incoherence “of the angry autodidact, the anti-vaxxer activist, and the anti-Biden conspiracy theorist,” Eliot A. Cohen argues, but it is still revelatory:
Trump’s Security Strategy Is Incoherent Babble
But mixed in with the ranting are three valuable points.
