Only 4% of TV news in the United States correctly connected Hurricane Beryl to climate change. The 2024 hurricane season is here, and we’ve already had our first record-breaking hurricane in Beryl, which caused billions in damage and deaths in Texas, Grenada, Venezuela and nearby areas. Importantly, climate change helped this storm break these records and do so much damage. But if you watched the news, you likely didn’t hear about that.

Health Care Is About to Get Even More Litigious. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision to do away with Chevron deference, scientists and doctors decisions can now be second-guessed by lawyers and judges. The question is which billionaires compensated the Supreme Court justices to overturn this doctrine that now puts Americans’ lives at greater risk? 🇺🇸

Syracuse University researchers uncover algorithm pushed misleading political ads on Facebook. This includes misinformation about crime, immigration, elections & voter suppression ads that Facebook makes a lot of money from. The DOJ should investigate Facebook for election fraud because if they turned off their algorithms the misinformations wouldn’t manipulate as many American voters, but instead Facebook continues to be complicit in election fraud 🇺🇸

Meta says it has ‘never thought about news’ as a way to counter fake news on Facebook & Instagram despite evidence to the contrary. This is likely because Facebook Instagram makes more money from its algorithms amplifying extreme left & extreme right misinformation. As this includes polarizing election misinformation & voter suppression content the DOJ should investigate Facebook Instagram for election fraud.
