GB News: Sky News breached Ofcom rules with Douglas Ross election interview
Ofcom found that Sky News violated broadcasting rules during an interview with Douglas Ross, former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, by allowing him to make constituency-specific comments without giving other candidates a chance to respond. This breach occurred on June 10, 2024, amid discussions of his resignation and campaign.
Sky News attempted to address the issue by airing a profile of the constituencies involved, but Ofcom deemed this insufficient. The regulator emphasized the need for compliance with broadcasting codes during elections, noting that Ross's comments were not generic but specifically aimed at promoting his candidacy.

The Epoch Times: Government Spending Decreased Americans’ Purchasing Power: Reports
The U.S. dollar has depreciated by 20% over the past four years, with inflation remaining a key concern for voters. While inflation has eased since its peak in 2022, recent data shows a slight uptick, suggesting ongoing economic challenges. Reports from the Federal Reserve indicate that supply chain issues are not the main cause of persistent inflation, contradicting popular narratives.
Economists argue that government spending and borrowing are significant contributors to inflation, with federal deficits reaching $8.8 trillion from 2020 to 2023. Despite some price reductions in specific sectors, overall prices remain elevated due to continued high demand and increased money supply. Calls for fiscal responsibility and regulatory reforms are emphasized to address these economic issues.

Times Of Israel: A claim that the earliest alphabet was found in Syria sparks a media maelstrom – finally
Veteran archaeologist Glenn Schwartz claims that four clay cylinder seals from a Bronze Age tomb in Syria may contain the earliest known examples of alphabetic writing, potentially dating back to 2300 BCE. This assertion, if validated, would shift the timeline of alphabet development back by about 500 years, challenging previous scholarly consensus.
The cylinders, discovered in 2004 at Umm el-Marra, are thought to be inscribed with symbols that could represent sounds corresponding to letters. While some experts support Schwartz's hypothesis, further research is complicated by ongoing political instability in Syria and the need for more examples of similar writing.
