I spoke to University of Washington professor and Center for an Informed Public cofounder Kate Starbird about her team’s ongoing efforts to study online rumors during the 2024 US election; the differences between left and right media ecosystems in the US; and how she believes the field is changing.

Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman: "But in fact, President Biden’s pardon was justified and falls within the heartland of executive clemency cases. A clear-eyed analysis of the facts, the law, and, crucially, DOJ standard practice in Hunter Biden’s case establishes this."

Hear me out… What if @mcuban.bsky.social bought MSNBC and basically did a high-quality video version of NPR? Actual news, commentary, markets/money, arts, culture/‘This American Life’-type stories… A linear/live stream like NPR’s schedule, and access to a library of past/original content. Crazy?
