Almost a decade later, the Times looks to be relapsing into bad form. If Charlottesville taught journalists to be wary of amplifying ideology, the current moment demands an understanding that, in an attention economy, amplification itself is the ideology www.salon.com/2026/04/06/t...

The song Ghost of Mount Buffalo released as a twisted tribute to Dezi Freeman. A song about Freeman has sparked backlash for glorifying the man who murdered two policeman www.heraldsun.com.au/truecrimeaus...

What I noticed in this article was Bracken's notes he is holding up - a key sentence " show me the injured party" - this is a key sovereign narrative. A tactical use of the terminology or a indicator of what contributed to the tax fraud I wonder. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...
