Mainstream Media Insights

Note: It is essential to remain critical of what you read in mainstream media because it presents a filtered reality that reflects the vision of the anointed - those who claim to have the solutions to society's problems. By questioning and verifying information, readers can cut through the spin and gain a more accurate understanding of the world, rather than relying on a one-sided narrative.

True crime fans, your next TV obsession has arrived.

It can be hard to understand our parents because of the different memories we see differently from each other. Imagine how difficult it would be to come to grips with the fact that your dad was a serial killer. Happy Face is a new true crime drama from the creators of The Good Wife. Annaleigh Ashford is best known for her role as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd. The haunted daughter of the Happy Face Killer, who was played by Dennis Quaid, is also a professional make-up artist. They have been estranged since he was caught. He claims that the cops never tied him to a ninth victim. He will only give details to Missy, who works for a talk show that is eager for exclusive interviews with this serial killer....

Government workers are using Signal to avoid hacks and data leaks.

As a devastating wildfire burned through a Maui town, killing more than 100 people, emergency management employees traded dozens of text messages, creating a record that would help investigators piece together the government's response to the tragedy. Officials might be using a second untraceable messaging service, according to one text exchange. The then-Maui Emergency Management Agency Administrator sent a text to a colleague. Many end-to-end messaging apps include auto-delete functions. While such apps promise increased security and privacy, they often skirt open records laws meant to increase transparency around and public awareness of government decision-making. The messages aren't returned under public information requests without special software. An Associated Press review in all 50 states found accounts on platforms that were registered to cellphone numbers for over 1,100 government workers and elected officials. It's unclear if Maui officials actually used the app or simply considered it, but the situation highlights a growing challenge: How can government entities use technological advancements for added security while staying on the right side of public information laws?...

Trump victory is a weight off of comics so they can get back to old jokes.

Comedy legend and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham believes that comedians in America could breathe a sigh of relief once Donald Trump was re-elected. The veteran stand-up star, best known for wisecracking onstage via a cast of ventriloquist dummies, told Fox News Digital that he believes Trump's election was a huge blow to cancel culture, which he says was keeping comedians from making the jokes they used to make. "Now that Trump is in office, you feel like you can joke about the things that we used to joke about," she said. In an interview with Fox News Digital, the Guinness World Record holder for most tickets sold for a stand-up comedy tour admitted that he hasn't been able to joke about or express opinions on certain topics in the last few years. After Donald Trump's win on the issue of populism, Andrew Shulz said it has been "painful" to talk about politics or common sense in the public arena. "Comedy is one of the last forms of free speech, and it was really stifled in recent years, until Trump's victory," he said. In the past few years, stand-up comedy was almost completely stifled, and it's refreshing to know that it's okay to do real stand-up comedy now. A dash of offensive material is ideal according to the comic....

Gambling channels don't always depict reality.

Steve was annoyed that that was a dud. He and his wife lost $921 playing 3 Card poker at the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The session was broadcast on the couple's YouTube channel, Vegas Action, which chronicles their ups and downs playing 3 Card and Texas Hold ‘Em. Vegas Action is one of dozens of gambling channels, a genre that took off around the start of COVID and is enabled by a small but growing number of casinos that allow video recording by content creators. Steve and Danielle, who prefer not to use their last name for privacy concerns, set themselves apart with their amusing banter, random film clips, Michigan anecdotes, and videos that feature a healthy dose of wins and losses. Danielle says they wanted to be honest with their audience. We are going to lose, right? You can't show all the wins....

The CEO of Mercedes-Benz wants zero tariffs.

The United States and Europe should abolish tariffs on car imports, as US President Donald Trump threatens to do, according to Mercedes-Benz. According to an interview published Thursday, the head of the German premium carmaker said that the EU imposes a 10 percent tax on cars imported from America, while the US has a 2.5 percent tax. He wants the tariffs on both sides to be zero. He said that European industries needed free trade more than their American counterparts. He said that Europe has more interest in ensuring that world markets remain open and that there is a fair framework for international trade. Trump has threatened to hit products from the EU with 25 percent tariffs and has signed plans for sweeping "reciprocal tariffs" that could hit both allies and adversaries from April 2. Many of the vehicles Mercedes and other European manufacturers sell in the United States are imported. Kallenius said that Mercedes had been making cars in the US for a long time and was preparing for the US duties....

Sadie Sink sings in a musical.

The term "cult classic" no longer means anything in the modern age. O'Dessa, a rock musical about destiny, defiance, and dictatorship, feels like it could have become a cult classic if it had been made. I can't think of anything else you would want from a rock musical, but for it to sing for the freaks. The title hero sings of the fate her father promised her in the film written and directed by Geremy Jasper. She is the Seventh Son, and her song on her heirloom six-string guitar is foretold to save the world from a ruthless tyrant who wallows in wealth and attention while his people starve. A genderfuck musical that's riveting, romantic, repulsive, and rocking in turns is what O'Dessa has created. The 5 best things we saw at the South by Southwest Film and TV Festival were all by Sadie Sink. Described by her mother as a "19 year old with stars in her eyes", O'Dessa's story begins in cliche....

In a new video, you can see how a sunset can melt away on the moon.

The first high-definition images of a lunar sunset were sent home by the Firefly landers as they prepared to close out their mission on the moon. After completing a successful landing and operating 10 NASA experiments, the company's Blue Ghost robotic spacecraft powered down on March 16. It conducted a study of the sunset before going to sleep. The Texas-based space company created a video to show the sun slipping below the horizon after the lander captured pictures from different camera angles. The images for the "horizon glow" will be studied by scientists. The theory was created by Gene Cernan, an Apollo 17 astronauts. Blue Ghost operated for five more hours through the darkness of lunar night, taking pictures to monitor how the dust's behavior changed. Firefly's CEO said during a news conference that "what we see is very similar to what I've seen other astronauts put only in notes."...

The FTC firings stirred a debate about agency independence.

New questions about the future of the FTC and what it could mean for businesses are being raised by the dismissal of two Democrats by President Trump. The Commissioners said they were fired on Tuesday. It followed weeks of concerns about the agency's independence as Trump moves to expand his control at various regulatory bodies. The move quickly sparked a slew of criticism from Democratic lawmakers and tech advocacy groups who blamed the decision in part on Trump's recent links to technology executives who are already facing enforcement from the agency. The FTC's ability to stand up to corporate abuses and protect consumers is jeopardized by this activity. The lawmakers said that Trump and Musk want to transform a vital Independent agency into yet another political plaything for their billionaire buddies as they continue to wage war on the rule of law. In his announcement of the firing, Bedoya said the decision is "corruption plain and simple." "The FTC is an independent agency founded 112 years ago to fight fraudsters and monopolists," he wrote on X Tuesday. The FTC has brought antitrust allegations against Amazon, as well as an antitrust case against Meta, which was filed under Trump in 2020....

Alternative Media Insights

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

The frustration of not knowing what to do to turn things around is one of the toughest things we have had to deal with. It seems impossible to defeat the evil that runs the world because they have done a good job of making us feel powerless. Everything is under their control and they have crept and crawled into every aspect of society. It all hangs by a thread, a thread of deception and engineered illusion. Their entire evil house of cards will come crashing down if we open our eyes and say no more. They are the ones that need us to survive, they are the ones that depend on our stupidity to maintain their power, and they are the ones that are scared and have to continually control everything we think, hear and see. Billions of us have to comply with the madness of those evil few. How much longer will we follow the PiedPiper's tune to our own demise?...

Western 'Democracy', Israel's U.S.-supported massacres of Palestinians, and Trump's seizure of the C.I.A. are some of the topics discussed by Craig Murray. All of the spy work on him tie together. Most of the Palestinians massacred on Monday night were women and children, and Donald Trump received a $100 million donation from the same person. In addition to that, Adelson is the second largest donor to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which pays hundreds of other elected and potential U.S. politicians to be genocidally Zionist as well. Western democracy is here. The First Amendment only applies to U.S. citizens, which is why the Biden administration used the argument against the Columbia University student who led pro-Palestine campus demonstrations.

A boycott of food giants is condemnable.

Jacob Wallenberg, the chairman of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, believes that the boycott of Swedish food giants is not to blame for the high food prices. The Nordic Times has previously highlighted how food prices have increased by an average of 25 percent in just three years, and that many individual food products have become more expensive than that. Many Swedes are boycotting large grocery stores due to the fact that ICA and other large food chains are making profits in the billions. Filippa Lind says that she would like to see a price reduction on all basic goods. Not everyone supports the boycott. Jacob Wallenberg, chairman of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, Investor, and SEB, argues that major retail chains should not be blamed for the sharp price increases. The unfortunate thing is that this is directing our anger at the wrong people. I am aware that people think it is expensive to buy food....
