Newsbusters: Foreign Policy Magazine Slams Musk's Twitter as 'Sewer of Disinformation'
Foreign Policy magazine criticized Elon Musk's Twitter platform, accusing it of promoting disinformation and extremist content without providing specific evidence. The outlet particularly objected to the removal of Twitter's blue check verification system and the decrease in staff dedicated to combating disinformation. It also cited the increase in hate and harassment on the platform, although these claims were based on research conducted by a known censorship advocate. Foreign Policy highlighted that Twitter removed state-affiliated labels from propaganda sources tied to authoritarian governments like China, Iran, and Russia. While the outlet raised legitimate concerns about Musk's endorsement of China's actions in Taiwan, it also exaggerated the influence of Russian disinformation. The magazine appeared to have contradictory views on censorship, condemning Musk for rejecting EU regulations while acknowledging his admiration for the Chinese Communist Party.

The Blaze: 'Very slow process' to refill strategic petroleum reserve that 'could take decades' after Biden admin's historic withdrawal, experts say
After the Biden administration ordered the release of over 211 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) to prevent oil price spikes due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, experts say it could take decades to refill the reserve. Currently, the SPR is at its lowest level since 1983, with a storage capacity of 714 million barrels but only holding 346.8 million barrels. The refilling process is expected to be slow and expensive, with oil prices significantly higher now than when the reserve was established.
The Epoch Times: Is Inflation Over? Ask Your Pocketbook
Inflation in the United States is not yet over, despite a decrease in headline CPI. Core inflation remains high and overall price levels have risen significantly. Transportation, shelter, and food prices continue to rise, making essential goods and services unaffordable. Wage growth is not keeping up with inflation, creating further financial strain for households. The Biden administration cannot declare an end to inflation until core CPI decreases and wages catch up with overall price levels. The United States is exporting inflation to Europe and benefiting from goods deflation from China. The war in Ukraine and China's economic growth are key factors that could impact energy prices and overall inflation. The Federal Reserve is likely to increase interest rates in the near future.
