Top Five Huge Stories the Media Buried This Week

Published on

#5 – CNN panel lectures America on military ā€œaccountabilityā€ā€¦ and then melts down when Scott Jennings points out that no one was held accountable for the disaster in Afghanistan or Bidenā€™s open border.

NEERA TANDEN:Ā ā€œThe military requires accountability. Itā€™s the most accountable organization. You are supposed to be accountable to higher-ups. Politics isnā€™t supposed to have to do with any of this, and the fact that thatā€™s happening, that theyā€™re just basically saying nothing to do here, is a big problem, I think, for those who believe in accountability.ā€

@ScottJenningsKY:Ā ā€œI think Republicans arenā€™t interested in any lectures on accountability in the military after the Biden administration. I mean, the bar for getting rid of a Secretary of Defense is apparently pretty high. You can get 13 people killed and go AWOL and not tell the commander in chief, and thatā€™s not a fireable offense.ā€

ā€œBut these lectures about accountability and national security after letting 10 million people into the country who raped and murdered and committed violent acts and no remorse or accountability.ā€

NEERA TANDEN:Ā ā€œWhat are you talking about? They closed the border.ā€

#4 – Bill Gates says we wonā€™t need humans ā€œfor most things.ā€

During an appearance onĀ The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked Gates a pretty direct question: ā€œWill we still need humans?ā€

Gates responded, ā€œNot for most things. Weā€™ll decide ā€¦ There will be some things that we reserve for ourselves, but in terms of making things and moving things and growing food, over time those will be basically solved problems.ā€

#3 – Rep. Jim Jordan hammers NPR CEO Katherine Maher for three straight minutes over political bias, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and NPRā€™s 87-to-0 Democrat staff ratio.

REP JORDAN:Ā “Is NPR biased?”

MAHER:Ā “I have never seen any political bias.”

JORDAN:Ā “In the DC area, editorial positions at NPR have 87 registered Democrats and 0 Republicans.”

MAHER:Ā “We do not track the voter registration, but I find that concerning.”

JORDAN:Ā “87-0 and you’re not biased?”

MAHER:Ā “I think that is concerning if those numbers are accurate.”

JORDAN:Ā “October 2020, the NYPost had the Hunter Biden laptop story, and one of those 87 Democrat editors said, ‘We don’t want to waste our readers and listeners’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.’ Was that story a pure distraction?”

#2 – Utah becomes the first state to officially BAN fluoride in all public drinking water.

For decades, fluoride was accepted as a safe way to prevent tooth decay. Few questioned it.

But last year, in a dramatic legal twist, a federal judge ruled that fluoride may actually lower childrenā€™s IQā€”and cited evidence that could upend everything we thought we knew.

That ruling sent shockwaves through the public health world.

Judge Edward Chen pointed to scientific studies showing a ā€œhigh level of certaintyā€ that fluoride exposure ā€œposes a riskā€ to developing brains.

He ordered the EPA to reexamine its safety standards, warning that the margin for safety may be far too narrow.

At the center of the case: dozens of peer-reviewed studies linking everyday fluoride exposureā€”even at levels found in U.S. tap waterā€”to reduced intellectual capacity in children.

It wasnā€™t just one paper. The National Toxicology Program, a branch of the U.S. government, also concluded that higher fluoride levels were ā€œconsistently associatedā€ with lower IQ in kids.

They flagged 1.5 mg/L as a risk threshold. Some communities hover right near it.

In response to the growing evidence, Utah passed HB 81, banning all fluoride additives in public water.

The law takes effect May 7. It doesnā€™t ban fluoride completely. Anyone who wants it can still get itā€”like any other prescription.

And thatā€™s the point: Utahā€™s lawmakers say this is about informed consent and personal choice.

This issue is no longer on the fringe. Across the country, cities and towns are quietly rethinking water fluoridationā€”and some have already pulled out. Utah is the first state to take bold action. It may not be the last.

The conversation surrounding fluoride has shifted from ā€œIs it helpful?ā€ to ā€œIs it safe?ā€ And for the first time in nearly a century, that question is being taken seriously.

#1 – RFK Jr. Drops Stunning Vaccine Announcement

Kennedy revealed that the CDC is creating aĀ new sub-agency focused entirely on vaccine injuriesā€”a long-overdue shift for patients whoā€™ve spent years searching for answers without any support from the government.

ā€œWeā€™re incorporating an agency within CDC that is going to specialize in vaccine injuries,ā€ Kennedy announced.

ā€œThese are priorities for the American people. More and more people are suffering from these injuries, and we are committed to having gold-standard science make sure that we can figure out what the treatments are and that we can deliver the best treatments possible to the American people.ā€

For years, the vaccine-injured have felt ignored or dismissed, as public health agencies refused to even acknowledge the problem. Now, thereā€™s finally an initiative underway to investigate their injuries and to provide support.

ā€˜Lot Of Nonsenseā€™: Kari Lake Announces Voice Of America Is Dumping Legacy Outlets

Published on

 

From theĀ Daily Caller News Foundation

By Hailey Gomez

Special Adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Kari Lake announced Friday that Voice of America (VOA) will terminate its contracts with The Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse.

VOA, an international broadcasting state media network, is funded by USAGM, with former President Joe BidenĀ requestingĀ in March 2024 a budget increase for the 2025 fiscal year to further support the radio network. In an XĀ postĀ on Friday, Lake announced USAGM will end its ā€œexpensive and unnecessary newswireĀ contracts,ā€ adding that some of the major agreements included ā€œtens-of-millions of dollars in contractsā€ with AP News, Reuters and Agence France-Presse.

ā€œUSAGM is an American taxpayer funded News Organization with an 83-year history. We should not be paying outside news companies to tell us what the news isā€”with nearly a billion-dollar budget, we should be producing news ourselves,ā€ Lake wrote. ā€œAnd if thatā€™s not possible, the American taxpayer should demand to know why.ā€

During a meeting withĀ VOAĀ staffers Friday, employees were reportedly told to ā€œstop using wire service material for their reports,ā€Ā accordingĀ to Newsmax. Notably, audio, video, and text reports have often been used to supplement coverage from locations where reporters are not present, the outlet reported.

In an interview with Newsmax prior to the official contract cuts, Lake discussed how the agency was finding ā€œa lot of nonsense that the American taxpayer shouldnā€™t be paying for.ā€

ā€œToday, I started the process of terminating the agencyā€™s contracts with the Associated Press, Reuters, & the Agence France-Presse. This will save taxpayers about 53 million dollars. The purpose of our agency is to tell the American story. We donā€™t need to outsource that responsibility to anyone else,ā€ LakeĀ wroteĀ in an X post regarding the interview.

Disputes between The AP and the White House began in February after the corporate media outlet was revokedĀ press accessĀ for refusing to call the Gulf of America by its new name. The AP filed a lawsuit on Feb. 21Ā againstĀ White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich for injunctive relief.

Lake wasĀ swornĀ in as USAGMā€™s special adviser on March 3, saying sheā€™s ā€œlooking forwardā€ to serving America and ā€œstreamliningā€ the agency. The cuts from the agency follow President Donald Trumpā€™s push for his second administration to review the governmentā€™s wasteful spending.
