Folks would like to know where all that money that was supposed to be donated actually went. Hmmm.

He is likely already well ahead of the game, inspired by his debate guardian. Insect protein is valuable stuff and black soldier fly farms are not only profitable, they are also grounding and nurturing.

Trump admin held back phone numbers and addresses that could have reunited separated migrant children with parents

The Trump administration has been holding back information, including telephone numbers and addresses, of parents whose children they separated at the border. The administration, in a deliberate and planned program intentionally broke apart migrant families to send a message to others from...

Serious question: is RawStory just the Breitbart of the left?

By which I mean to ask, is this a trust-worthy and factual source? It's obvious that it leans left, and that's fine. Just curious about how factual vs. made-the-fuck-up the stories here are.

always check the article for another source, in this case, NBC.

Trump administration has handed over new data to help reunite migrant families

The ACLU's Lee Gelernt said he's often asked whether the Trump administration has helped reunite families. He said that rather than help, it has withheld data.

Muchas graçias, gents. I think everyone here (minus Brian?) is pretty dang good about only posting verifiable links and stories and whatnot. But every now and again, something might slip through. Just trying to make sure we're all keeping ourselves honest and not echo-chambering each other to death.

Cool. I had found a "bias" rating for RawStory but not a "fact check" one. This is helpful. Mix of actual facts and bullshit, got it.

Ya, me bad, saw it on NBC originally, ended up going down a rabbit hole. When I resurfaced and decided to throw it up here, I did a quick search and the rawstory came up and I just grabbed it.

No worries. I asked in earnest because my gut tells me there has to be a far-left version of Breitbart or InfoWars or whatever, but I have no idea what it is. Apparently Raw Story was conceived as the liberal leaning alternative to Drudge Report.

Yeah - there's a lot of bullshit sites on both sides (sound familiar?). I try to stick with centered, well-known *journalistic* sources: AP, Reuters, NPR, BBC mostly.

Check this one out. This was two years ago... The echo chamber gets fed from the outside.
I knew that the regurgitation was bad, but when things are clearly labeled as BS? We are doomed.

I read this article earlier today, and while I can't read the WaPo article due to the paywall the headline seems like it's probably similar?

How Macedonian teens earn — and spend — thousands from fake news

Fake news ran wild during the presidential election — and even though the contest is over, the gold rush continues for dozens of enterprising teens in a remote Macedonian town. Their main cash cow: president-elect Donald Trump. "Nothing can beat Trump’s supporters when it comes to social media...
