AP conveniently forgets to mention that politician accused of murder is a Democrat
Everyone makes mistakes, OK?! ...
AP’s coverage, which amounted to just over 900 words, simply referred to Telles as a “local elected official.” ...
Following a public backlash over the AP’s omission, changes were later made to the article without an editor’s note. These included identifying Telles as a Democrat in the second paragraph and noting that “Telles lost the Democratic party primary in June” towards the middle. But as a news wire service provides stories for multiple outlets, it was too late and the original story was spread far and wide.
Twitter came to the rescue and offered AP some journalism tips. One said: “If he was a republican you’d have that as your first word in your header.” Another added, “I’m sure it was just an oversight, but the @AP forgot to mention that Robert Telles is a Democrat, with a violent past that the party overlooked.”

Apparently $1.5B/year of taxpayers money isn't enough for the government journalists at Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster. Trudeau actually gave them a $30M pandemic bonus. They're not journalists anymore; they never were. I think a more accurate word for them is "presstitutes."

#CBC faces mandatory disclosure of salaries under Broadcasting Act amendments proposed @SenateCA. CBC paid $30.4 million in pandemic bonuses while petitioning for more subsidies.
“I do have a concern about transparency.”
Democrats are operating a series of 51 'fake news' websites pushing left-wing stories in toss-up states in a bid to turn the midterms in their favor, shocking investigation finds
A new report from Axios details 51 fake news websites that promote liberal political causes
All of the websites, which have popped up in the past 12 months, are based in what are considered to be swing states
Some of the publications are the Milwaukee Metro Times, the Tri-City Record and the Mecklenburg Herald
The stock market is not going to crash in a hyperinflation.
Why did the New York Times not translate those two protest banners pulled down by the CCP?
You'd think they would, what with their (nominal) devotion to the cause of "freedom-and-democracy" (in some places, but not others: including, evidently, China—and, in fact, the USA) ...
Here, then, is the translation that the Times did not provide (but that a former student sent one of my colleagues):
“No Covid test, we want to eat. No restrictions, we want freedom. No lies, we want dignity. No Cultural Revolution, we want reform. No leaders, we want votes. By not being slaves, we can be citizens."
"Go on strike at school and work, remove dictator and national traitor Xi Jinping."
Why, then, no full translation in the Times? Did its editors consider one not “fit to print” because it doesn’t really matter what the protest said? Or did they decide that that full protest wasn’t “fit to print” because it matters greatly, and not just to the Chinese people? After all, would not that first, and longer, protest resonate with millions in the world’s “democracies,” who also want not to be slaves, but citizens, respected by their governments? Perhaps somebody at the Times (or CIA) did not want that full protest sparking “protest chatter” over here (and elsewhere in the West)—“chatter” which our “Internet censors” would then have to “quell.”
Was that full protest translated anywhere? If so, please let us know. In any case, let’s do our best to share it far and wide.
