Just yesterday there was news about a protest in a cinema in Paris, where the police essentially invaded, and yes, beat people attempting to stop them into the hospital, and arrested "the core" of the protest. The police's story is that a small group tried to set the cinema on fire (very French of them, I must say, what's a protest without something on fire?), which is kind of confirmed by them arresting like 0.1% of the protestors, showing torches they found on the protestors, a big scorch mark on the floor, plus they let the protest continue. Of course, on the internet the only intention of the police using, granted, a LOT of force (as soon as they saw the torch, according to the police statement), preventing protestors from setting an old wooden Parisian building with more than 1000 people inside on fire was to protect Israeli aggression/colonialism (there was an Israeli concert happening) ... For now the newspapers and TV are a bit more on the sane side, but every year that passes more and more newspapers are joining the lunatics on the left or right (and truth be told, mostly on the left)
If there is a political center, shouldn’t the headlines carry a similar number of headlines ( at least over time? I can understand that at times one side or the other might be more news worthy, but honestly I just don’t remember a time where headlines discussed someone being ‘far left’)

>"Specifically, the Sky News team ran a study where they created nine new Twitter/X accounts, three left-wing, three right-wing, and three politically neutral, and then tracked what content got dumped into their “For You” tabs on the Elon Musk-owned social media service during a one-month period in 2025"
I don't find any mention of how/if they separated the accounts by using different IPs/types of internet connection - seems like a bit of an omission.
WTF.
