Cops Kill Lady
Well see, the "criminal interdiction squad" was breaking into a woman named Breonna Taylor's house in the middle of the night to serve a search warrant -- looking for drugs -- that was connected to an arrest warrant for a man who had already been arrested 10 miles away. And they didn't announce themselves, just kicked in the door. So when the man of the house fired in defense of himself and his woman, they killed her. (There were no drugs.) (They fired at least 20 shots, some of which "entered" multiple adjacent apartments.) Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove are guilty...

Ten Reasons the COVID-19 Threat May Be Inflated
COVID-19 is a very serious problem that should be taken very seriously by individuals, organizations, businesses and governments but there are ways in which the public may get an exaggerated sense of the threat: 1. In general: Once a dominant narrative is formed (in this case: Covid-19 as huge threat) reporting will be more inclined to cover things that fit that narrative & ignore/dismiss things that seem to contradict it: The evidentiary standards for reporting that fits the narrative will be lower than for reporting that contradicts it. 2.
