Longtime Washington insider Greg Craig gets caught up in Mueller investigation. https://consortiumnews.com/2019/02/26/john-kiriakou-washington-insider-taken-down-a-peg/

Is anyone here using this app? NewsGuard touts itself as wanting to more or less be the arbiter of what's fake news and what reliably genuine through staff instead of newer technologies. NewsGuard's founders, Steven Brill, and Gordon Crovitz are somewhat controversial with Crovitz more so than...

I see Politico is running an exclusive smear campaign on Bernie Sanders and slyly declaring him unsupportable in 2020 while simultaneously glamorizing Beto O'Rourke. This, in spite of the fact that Sanders knew nothing of the 2-year-old allegations of whatshisface and Beto is second only to Ted...

It appears there is confusion as to what is meant by the term. Here is a good definition that I've found. https://corpwatch.org/article/what-neoliberalism A bit:

"The idea of “whistleblowing” has been in the news a great deal. Is the anonymous author of a recent New York Times op-ed eviscerating the president a whistleblower? Is the victim of an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh a whistleblower? I’m fortunate to have...

Robert Sheer of Sheer Intelligence interviews Lori Wallach on the changes made by the Trump NAFTA negotiations. I found it informative. "Championed by Ronald Reagan and ultimately enacted by Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, the pact has hollowed out the manufacturing industry...
