The Media’s Hunter Biden Conundrum
It should be possible to cover revelations about the Biden family that are neither disinformation nor the greatest scandal of our time.

Good to see @nytimes writing about this issue too. An excellent column from @DouthatNYT

The Internet Speaks American
Sharing the internet with America is like sharing your living room with a rhinoceros. It’s huge, it’s right there, and whatever it’s doing now, you sure as hell know about it.

"Being part of the dominant group always leads to shortsightedness: an assumption that your laws, culture, and taboos are universal... America, our former colony, won the internet, and now makes us speak its language."
This is great from @helenlewis

Partisans in the U.S. increasingly divided on whether offensive content online is taken seriously enough
Americans have grown more divided on whether offensive content online is taken seriously enough and on which is more important online, free speech or feeling safe.

With the Hunter Biden Expose, Suppression is a Bigger Scandal Than The Actual Story
Unprecedented efforts to squelch information about a New York Post story may prove to be more dangerous corruption than whatever Hunter Biden did with a crooked Ukrainian energy company

This is excellent from @mtaibbi - "The flow of information... has become so politicized... that it’s become impossible for American audiences to see news about certain topics absent thickets of propagandistic contextualizing"

In March 2016 I had a chat with these lovely guys in Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop (💯👌) in Brooklyn, most of whom were planning to vote Trump because they couldn't stand Clinton. They ended up inspiring the opener of my Notebook column in today's @FT ft.com/content/018e12… pic.twitter.com/8axrmBt4me

Is Qanon a game gone wrong?
Izabella Kaminska explains how Qanon stems from the worlds of online gaming and Playboy magazine. It's not a conspiracy. It’s a way to hack reality.

Opinion: Arms and the law - why is the UK government making it harder to prosecute war crimes?
FT legal commentator David Allen Green looks at legislation protecting servicemen from prosecution. There is a government Bill going through parliament which is intended to make it far harder for British service personnel to be prosecuted for war...
Coronavirus: More than 1,000 consultants from Deloitte on Test and Trace programme
The number of people from just one private firm working on the scheme is equivalent to the size of a small government department.

In defence of wokeness | The Spectator
We have been reading an awful lot about ‘wokeness’ recently. Nobody, I notice, seems to be much in favour of it. In fact, the sharpest pens of the right seem to stab at more or less nothing else these days. Stab, stab, stab, they go. Many incisions...

This is great by @questingvole - "One of my late grandfather’s wise sayings was: ‘Nobody ever destroyed a man by sneering.’ The culture wars are now being conducted almost entirely through sneering — and as long as they are, they will remain unwinnable."
