A staggering 84% of teens described the news media with words like "fake," "lies," and "false."¹

When asked what journalists do well, teens didn't hold back.

They accused reporters of "lying," "misleading," and outright fabricating stories.

Nearly half of all teenagers believe journalists "do more to harm democracy than to protect it."²

When the survey asked teenagers what journalists should do to improve, the answer was shockingly straightforward.

Be honest and get the facts right.¹²

That's it.

No complicated reforms.

 Ex Israeli official confirms majority of captives in Gaza'Jabalia killed by friendly fire

Nitzan Alon, Israel’s former coordinator for the affairs of captives, admitted on 9 December that most of the Israelis who were held by Hamas in Gaza’s northern city of Jabalia were killed by the army’s airstrikes.

“Israeli fire killed most of the hostages in Jabalia due to intelligence gaps,” Alon, now retired, told Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. 

Alon added that many of the captives who arrived in the strip alive died not long after due to Israeli airstrikes targeting the buildings where they were being held.

(On January 7th, The Israelis fired 11,000 missiles from helicopters at fleeing Israelis and fired 2 IDF tank shells into homes of Israeli hostages with Hamas fighters inside killing everyone inside. This is according to Israel's Hannibal doctrine which is that the IDF kills anyone taken hostage.)

President Donald Trump has unveiled his long-awaited 'gold card' - offering legal status and a pathway to US citizenship for customers willing to pay the $1 million price tag.

The visa is on offer for individuals who can stump up the full amount, while corporations will have to fork out up to twice the amount per foreign-born employee.

A website accepting applications went live as Trump kicked off the program surrounded by business leaders in the White House on Wednesday.  (THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT AMERICA FIRST.)

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing whether to leverage terrorism-related sanction on the United Nation's Palestinian relief agency.

Two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters that officials have held advanced discussions on sanctioning the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which Israeli officials have long claimed supported Hamas in the October 7, 2023 attack. 

It operates in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, providing aid, schooling, healthcare, social services and shelter to millions of Palestinians.

Top UN officials as well as the UN Security Council have described UNRWA as the backbone of the aid response in Gaza, where the two-year long war between Israel and Hamas unleashed a humanitarian disaster.

The United States would suffer a devasting defeat and lose its biggest aircraft carrier if it tried to stop China invading Taiwan, according to a top secret Pentagon report.

War games showed the U.S. would be overwhelmed by China's arsenal of around 600 hypersonic weapons, along with missiles and nuclear submarines.

The grim assessment, revealed by the New York Times, confirmed the conclusions of previous war games, but it also highlighted wider concerns about the future direction of the U.S. military and its continued reliance on outdated methods. (The us could not invade Yemen and win. Yemen has faster and better missiles than the us but our Pentagon is number one in corruption.)
