You’ll not read such breaking stories in the MSM coz most of them are simply complicit in war crimes. These were reported by Palestinian Centre for Human Rights yesterday.

The Palestinians who gave their testimonies were taken from Gaza and were only recently released from Israeli detention camps.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports
Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned. Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

Endless columns, broadcasts and podcasts about how Labour were set to sweep the boards with Reform voters and Reasonable Tories, creating a crushing electoral bloc of bullied liberals, racist pensioners and sexually-retired lunatics. Here’s the pollster’s take on what has happened instead:
4 September • 49 min Exactly. I think the thing that struck me most about that was the speed and conviction and strength that people had about the point of view. Normally, you show a picture of a politician. Obviously, the Prime Minister is very well known, but you show a picture of a politician. People will pause for a moment. They'll have a think and then they'll say something. We showed the picture of Keir Starmer and then really what you just heard there was more or less the live stream of it. There was a very little gap, very little space for me to get a word in, and it was a stream after stream of negative sentiments. I think the thing that's really striking is that person there who said they expected more, they quite liked how he carried himself before. But the first year in office has really, I think, damaged Keir Starmer's brand and made him, in their eyes, very much

The Times set up a focus group of Reform-curious people - that is, the exact group of people Labour have been breaking their spines to impress for five long, miserable years. But how’s it going? Exactly as you would’ve predicted, had you been asked how this would go in, say, 2021.
Here's what they think about Keir Starmer. A waste of space. lagree. Yeah. Clueless. I don't know much about him. No, communist. Not in touch with reality. He took the, what do you call it, the old-age pensioners, the heating allowance away from us. A lot of money that was. It was a big help. I think probably when he came in initially, he done a couple of good things that he kind of sorted out the minimum wage. And after that, he just continued to make an absolute dogs dinner of the immigration shambles. Now they're talking about, you know,

Pedro Pascal spoke up for trans rights and has been targeted with a smear campaign as a result. False allegations lobbed by TERFs have since become a meme and entered the YouTube podcast sphere—not unlike the previous anti-MeToo smear campaigns I’ve covered.

tl,dr: a report that says prisoners not abused as much and given a variety of enrichment opportunities are less violent becomes, in the murdoch press's hands, how it's good to teach prisoners to accept suffering without complaining

I saw this story floating around and got curious: has the Daily Mail produced a story about an innovative prison reform that is good and in the process fulfilled its journalistic function? I suppose there's a first for everything.

I note that Palestinian solidarity was well within normal acceptable politics in, say, 2001. Now in 2025, the same politics, the same statements - the same people - are frighteningly insane, wildly extreme, utterly unacceptable, to be cracked down upon. So who is it, whose politics have radicalised?

The editorial board took numerous shots at you and your tenure as mayor. What’s your response? It felt like the New York Times didn’t understand New York City. It was this strangely conservative law-and-order, traditionalist view that totally missed the reality of the city today. My view is people are hurting and affordability is the issue and the Times just does not understand what everyday people are going through. They’ve disconnected from New York City more and more with every passing year. Obviously, they decided they didn’t care enough about New York City to make an editorial endorsement and then they show up with this wimpy, disingenuous editorial basically justifying why people should vote for someone corrupt in Andrew Cuomo, and not even recognizing that other new leaders had worthy ideas. I mean, the whole thing was like, “Let’s invalidate new young leaders,” right? It was unbelievably ageist and out of touch. I was immediately transported back to 2013 when they said in their editorial when I was running for mayor that my ideas, like Pre-K for All, were impossible. They were absolutely dismissive, and their whole attitude was, Big bold ideas can’t happen, so why vote for someone who wants to change things? And I feel what they have become is sort of a parody of the status quo. They, in their own curmudgeonly way, just tell people to swallow hard and accept the unacceptable. If you talk to everyday New Yorkers, as I do all the time, you know that people really, really can’t stand the status quo in the city. But it’s not because they want to go back to some good old days of strongman leaders. It’s that they think their leaders don’t care about them, aren’t helping address the extraordinary pain they’re going through and the challenge of making ends meet.

This is a real sentence in the Atlantic.
One thing the candidates share, I suppose, is that both get accused of being nepo babies. Mamdani’s mother made the 1991 indie romance Mississippi Masala. Cuomo’s father was governor of New York.

Anstatt sich ernsthaft mit den Vorwürfen auseinanderzusetzen, lässt sich der RIAS-Sprecher von Nicholas Potter interviewen – einem ehemaligen Mitarbeiter der Amadeu-Antonio-Stiftung, die RIAS finanziell fördert. Das Ergebnis: ein Kuschelinterview, das zur Selbstinszenierung dient. Höchst unseriös.
