   Are they reacting to geopolitics and risks from the US?

2. IBM Kills Companies It Bought (Neudesic Seems Like Latest Casualty)

   Why isn't even a single publisher investigating those things?

3. Fake "Linux" Articles

   Just because some platform has "Linux" in the domain name and/or site name does not imply that it is a news/Linux site

   We won't self-censor or prematurely terminate this series

    Do these people even understand the literal meaning of "safe space"?

    Watch all the Gates apologists getting all silenced/silent

13. BBC Gaslights Women Sexually Exploited (Many Under Legal Age) for Its Rich Sponsor, Bill Epsteingate (Gates)

    Is this a national broadcaster or a propaganda tool "For Rent"?

    They focus on financials, as the corruption aspects are un-sayable or unspeakable, except in private
