VERDAD-ero: A new A.I. app monitors Spanish-language radio's chronic misinformation
Misinformation remains a problem on Spanish-language radio in Latino communities like Miami's, but monitoring it is a time-consuming challenge. Could a new A.I. tool be a better watchdog?

Spanish-language misinformation on Los Angeles protests pushes a familiar theme
Posts using fake images and baseless claims have sought to connect protests to left-wing Latin American governments, similar to misinformation that has swirled around previous news events.

#Vučić using Macedonian burn victims as political props is deplorable
Even worse? Doctors allowed this to happen, knowing their vulnerability to infection
My family’s town of Kočani is devastated, Macedonia is on the brink & this clown needs a photo op because he botched the response to Novi Sad

The devastating nightclub fire at Kočani in North Macedonia has had a huge impact on the small town. Fewer than 25 thousand residents - more than 250 deaths and injuries. Almost everyone is affected. I spent the day there for BBC News. youtu.be/5Db8ih7c61Y

When the state allows for nearly untethered corruption à la “don’t worry, I know a guy”, it’s a dereliction of duty

To recap #Vučić’s presser (1/2)
1) protests are costing the state too much money (millions), so just stop
2) “protest tourism” has infiltrated #Serbia
3) only the rich (elites) were out protesting, not the poor
4) how dare the you, the public, believe a sound cannon was used - how dare you

#Vučić is the linchpin to nearly all nefarious political operations & intentions in Europe
If these largest-in-Serbian-history protests succeed, his resignation will be a game changer for #Serbia, the #Balkans & #Europe
Pray the opposition is organized & ready to go
Bravo, hrabri mladi ljudi!
