A relic of "white newsrooms".

Top news outlets have openly announced that they're abandoning "objectivity" because it's a racist relic of "white newsrooms".

No, this isn't a Babylon Bee story.

The decision arose from a series of interviews conducted by former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward.

Comment: The world continues to get more and more Orwellian by the day.

Representative Buddy Carter, a Republican from Georgia, introduced legislation that would classify Americans who died from fentanyl poisoning as crime victims, the Daily Caller first reported.

The legislation, titled the "Recognizing Victims of Illicit Fentanyl Poisoning Act," would add Americans who die from fentanyl poisoning to the list of recognized victims, which is kept by the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office for Victims of Crime (OVC).

The bill would "amend the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 to authorize compensation for victims of illicit fentanyl poisoning, and for other purposes."

Several groups who have received direct funding from the Canadian government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are demanding an Ottawa venue cancel an event featuring psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson.

A total of 36 organisations have demanded the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa cancel an upcoming event in which Dr Peterson is to speak as part of his North American tour to promote his latest book Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.

Jaime Sadgrove, manager of communications and advocacy for the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity (CCGSD), told the National Post newspaper, "As we approach the one-year anniversary of the so-called 'Freedom Convoy,' the last thing we need is a spokesperson of the far-right taking centre stage in our city."

Comment: Colour us unsurprised.

Americans of both parties think the biggest issue the country faces is the government itself and "poor leadership" — outranking both inflation and the economy — according to a new Gallup poll, as headlines this month have been dominated by political controversies like the House Speaker vote and classified White House documents being found at leaders' homes.

Key Facts
  • The poll, conducted January 2-22 among 1,011 U.S. adults, found 21% rank the government and poor leadership as "the most important problem facing the country today."
  • Inflation (15%), immigration (11%) and the economy in general (10%) were the next-biggest issues for respondents.
  • Americans' dislike of the government is up from November and December, when only 15% of respondents said the government was the biggest issue, versus 16% of Americans who were concerned about inflation and the economy.
  • Both sides of the aisle ranked the government as the largest problem, with 24% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents and 18% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents saying it was the biggest issue.
  • The issues Americans were less likely to rank as the biggest problem were "unifying the country" (6% said it's the largest issue), race relations (5%), poverty (5%), crime (4%) and "ethical/moral/family decline" (4%).

One of the largest provinces in Canada is moving forward with a plan to become the first province in the country to decriminalize several hard drugs.

Starting on Tuesday, residents of British Columbia who are older than 18 will be allowed to carry up to 2.5 grams of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine and morphine, the BBC reported.

British Columbia was granted permission by the government to try out the plan for three years, when the drugs will still be illegal but those carrying less than 2.5 grams will not be arrested, charged or have the drugs confiscated.

Instead, residents carrying the drugs will be offered information on health and social services.

Failing up: Memphis police chief tasked with investigating Tyre Nichols murder fired from previous job in Atlanta

The Memphis police chief who is now tasked with investigating the killing of Tyre Nichols was previously fired from her job for dismissing allegations in a child pornography case.

Cerelyn 'CJ' Davis was kicked out of the Atlanta Police Department in 2008 for her role in the botched investigation of sergeant Tonya Crane's husband Terrill Marion Crane - who later turned out to be guilty.

Two detectives on the case accused Davis - who was deputy chief at the time - of urging them not to dig into the claims against Crane after the unit received pictures of him with underage middle school girls.

Crane later pled guilty to one count of producing child pornography after the FBI took on the case - and blame then shifted on to Davis for taking a 'blind eye' on the child porn claims.

Exxon posts record $56bn profit for 2022 in historic high for Western oil industry

Exxon Mobil posted a $56bn profit for 2022, the company said on Tuesday, taking home about $6.3m an hour last year, and setting not only a company record but a historic high for the western oil industry.

Oil majors are expected to break their own annual records on high prices and soaring demand, pushing their combined take to near $200bn. The scale has renewed criticism of the oil industry and sparked calls for more countries to levy windfall profit taxes on the companies.

Exxon's results far exceeded the then record $45.2bn net profit it reported in 2008, when oil hit $142 a barrel, 30% above last year's average price. Deep cost cuts during the pandemic helped supercharge last year's earnings.

Figures from the retail analysts Kantar showed grocery price inflation in the UK hit a fresh record high of 16.7% in the four weeks to 22 January, adding nearly £800 to the typical annual shopping bill, with the price of milk, eggs and dog food rising fastest.

The figure was up from 14.4% in December, and has reached the highest level since Kantar began tracking the figures in 2008. The latest increase will take the average annual food shopping bill to £5,504, up £788.

The monthly report also showed that no- and low-alcohol beer sales volumes rose 3% year on year, as many people embraced dry January. Veganuary also made an impact, as sales of supermarket own-label ranges labelled as plant-based or vegan jumped by 21%.


Comment: That vegan food sales 'jumped' likely means very little considering how low the sales for these items are usually. However The Guardian would try to make a point of it because it actively pushes vegan diets onto its (dwindling) readership.


Comment: Supermarkets have admitted that they're doing what they can to delay passing on increased costs to consumers, which is actually concealing the real rate of inflation, but at some point these costs will have to be passed on and it will add fuel to the burgeoning unrest: France rocked by protests as 2 MILLION march against government reforms in 2nd wave of mass strikes to hit this month

A spike in the number of deaths in recent weeks has disrupted funeral arrangements and put mortuaries under unprecedented stress.

An Irish Examiner analysis of death notices on the website rip.ie shows there were 9,718 published in the eight-week period from December 1, 2022, to January 25, 2023 — up 20% from 8,075 in the same period a year earlier.

The figure is also considerably higher than the 8,135 death notices published in the same period to January 25, 2021, when the country was in the grip of the worst period of the Covid pandemic.

Pre-pandemic, 6,802 death notices were published in the eight weeks to January 25, 2019, almost 3,000 fewer than in recent weeks.

Comment: The 'mysterious' spike in excess deaths that is mostly being reported in countries with high rates of vaccination with the experimental Covid injections, and which also enforced nearly 2-year-long lockdowns that prevented people from receiving primary healthcare services, that are now suffering life threatening backlogs of patients: Excess deaths DOUBLED in 2021, NOT from Covid, lockdown partly to blame, WHO research reveals

Project Veritas recently published an undercover video featuring a Pfizer honcho discussing 'mutating' COVID virus

Project Veritas taunted Pfizer with an LED truck parked outside of the drug manufacturer's New York City headquarters on Tuesday after the investigative journalism group put a spotlight on alleged plans to mutate COVID.

Last week, Project Veritas, a right-wing guerilla journalism outfit, published footage of a man described as Pfizer director of research and development Jordon Trishton Walker telling an undercover Project Veritas journalist that the company was exploring plans to "mutate" the COVID virus themselves through "directed evolution."

"That is not what we say to the public," Walker said during the video that has been viewed more than 27 million times on Twitter alone.

Comment: It's not the first time Pfizer has been targeted by Project Veritas:
