When Fox News gave misinformation, likely knowingly, about Covid - thousands of people believed them and died. The question now is whether Fox should be held liable in those deaths. Former ABC White House correspondent Jim Avila will explain. He has a new article in Barrett News Media. Here is the link if you’d like to read it before the discussion.

There’s no denying that former President Trump has the uncanny ability to turn bad press into a good thing for himself. Now a judge in Georgia is denying Trump’s request to stop the investigation into election interference and in doing so he cited a Rumpelstiltskin like political magic. Oh… and the GOP’s supposed star witness that could allegedly connect President Biden to some type of wrongdoing did not connect President Biden to any type of wrongdoing. The alleged proof went poof! David Cay Johnston will discuss.
There’s a new faux chicken meal coming to a restaurant table near you. Alameda-based Good Meat is showcasing its product at a Washington DC area restaurant. It may be the start of an era where our meat comes from cells grown in a lab.
