The UK government is trying to undermine the work of journalists who keep the public informed. Officials are now trying to claim they must tighten Freedom of Information (FOI) rules to defend against China. Meanwhile US president Donald Trump’s administration has publicly attacked independent media outlet Drop Site News for… telling the truth.

“Panicking” should be in the same category of headline words as “blasts”, “fumes”, and “destroys”. 100% of the time you find that the truth is much milder than what the headline implies. Ghasp, I know.

In this case, “concerned enough to react” would be a better choice.

No no no. That’s a typo. Hexs picnicing. He’s spread a table cloth on some grass and is now eating large amounts of food by himself. He brought a bucket of big macs.

This should be the natural state of things, and politicians should take that as a sign to start behaving in a way that represents their constituents.

That freak out about Drop Site News is wild, because it’s so counter protective.

DSN is such a small outfit, and Trump is simultaneously showing how vulnerable he is in his reaction and also doing such promotion for a news magazine that is otherwise not that heavily read.

It’s great though, because I love DSN.
