THE GUARDIAN WEEKLY (January 16, 2025): The latest issue features ‘Facing Facts’ – Facebook, Trump and the war on truth…
More than 3 billion people worldwide log on to Meta’s apps every day, the sort of reach most aspiring global megalomaniacs can only dream of. It’s also one of the main reasons why the decision by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta – the company behind Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads – to scrap its third-party factcheckers in the US is so significant.

A Clockwork Blue: How the Left Has Come to Excuse Away and Embrace Political Violence
by Noah Rothman
Democrats displayed more depression than anger in the weeks following Donald Trump’s 2024 victory.
