… and someone should do an online monthly news update as a graphic novel. There are so many avenues to explore seeing as the graphic novel has become such a popular format. V for Vendetta and Watchmen were better than the films for sure.
Andrews McMeel Universal syndication and others should get together with news international and make an online version of the news in comic format. They would be the best to implement this as they do heaps of comic strips that reflect the news already.

Reminds me of this article about comic strips in news.
CBBC still does kids news, I would trust this rather than some of the US networks that use “news” for political purposes. Trust the BBC – and the rest of the world, use the BBC we pay for it so you get it FREE.

LOL – “Kyle’s first marriage to Kirsty Rowley in 1989 was short-lived because of his addiction to gambling. … He married Carla Germaine in 2002. The couple separated amicably in 2015; they had three children. Their divorce was confirmed the following February.”
Yep, looks like he should have been the victim of all that bullying rather than the bully. Most of the kids he destroyed were just lazy stoners without much malice, but Kyle? and arsehole for sure…

Would be great to filter this crap out of news websites and social, but here’s your problem… “51% of people from their sample accessed the news through social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, and are more interested in the ‘soft news’ stories.”
Personally, I wouldn’t believe anything I read or see on social media.
Looks like Elon Musk’s X has also invested in a fact-checking system.
https://innovation-village.com/x-now-requires-community-fact-checks-to-include-sources/
Google now offers fact-checking tools for online images!
This is long overdue! It’s getting harder to find the truth, especially at this age of AI-generated fakes.
Fact-checking tools are vital to navigate the web of disinformation on social media.
Fox removed his ability to speak > Twitter and the Muskovites bring it back.
The idea that his buddies are hard fighting is an idea I guess. hmm. Maybe more of an opinion. or is an opinion just an idea? Anyways, it reminded me of this thug rock classic from the UK OI movement.
Gonna miss him, even if it’s just for the fun-poking.

Cases of “rhetorical hyperbole” fall outside libel law. Some of former President Trump’s pre-White House lawsuits set precedents in this regard.
I guess its a great idea that this is already a crime they can be sued for. You need money to sue though.

Currently, loads of kind volunteers read and record the local news for blind people. Very commendable – but this app pulls lots of them together.
or, just use the library, which was a good idea back in the day…
we have a bigger problem now – even if you ran a newspaper, how would you know the truth even if it is staring you in the face?
