fromGlennGreenwald/Substack:  The same corporate outlets that most vocally profess concern over disinformation are the ones spreading it most casually. NBC's Assange report is the perfect case study.

fromTheFederalist:  Lots of politicians are big, fat liars. Joe Biden is merely one of the most obvious.

fromPolitico:  The idea that a handful of corporate malefactors are driving widespread inflation is a fairy tale intended to shift political blame.  Economic Policy: Statism Versus The Free Market

fromReason:  15 out of 16 adult New Yorkers have gotten the jab, but that's not enough to keep government from fining businesses and excluding kids.

fromWashingtonFreeBeacon:  69 percent 'say no new mandates or restrictions are required'. Scare tactics seemed to have run their course, as authoritarians find it increasingly difficult to squeeze out more utility from them.
