The Federalist: The Media Aren't Biased On Accident And There's No Saving Them
Terry Moran, recently dismissed from ABC News, claims media bias is unintentional and stems from a lack of viewpoint diversity. He argues that the absence of Trump supporters in newsrooms impacts coverage but dismisses the notion of malevolent bias as oversimplified.
However, critics contend that the media's current bias is deliberate, aimed at political manipulation rather than ignorance. They argue that the media's efforts to support certain political figures and narratives reflect a commitment to a political agenda rather than a mere blind spot.

GB News: Iran asks Taliban for ‘kill list’ to use MI6 agents 'as backdoor bargaining tools'
Iran has requested access to a leaked list of nearly 25,000 Afghans who assisted UK forces, aiming to hunt down British spies and leverage the information in upcoming nuclear negotiations. The Taliban has been ordered to arrest individuals on the list to exert political pressure on the UK.
The list, leaked in February 2022, includes soldiers and intelligence assets, with some Afghans reportedly fleeing to Iran. The UK Ministry of Defence acknowledged the seriousness of the data breach, which has led to potential lawsuits from affected Afghans.

Liberty Nation News: Blind Spots in the Massive Department of Defense Shopping List - Liberty Nation News
The Department of Defense relies on a vast network of suppliers for defense procurement, but a recent GAO report highlights significant transparency issues. Critical components may come from foreign adversaries, notably China, raising national security concerns.
With over 200,000 subcontractors involved, the supply chain's lower tiers are particularly vulnerable to counterfeit parts. The DOD is working to enhance supplier visibility and reduce reliance on foreign sources, acknowledging the risks posed by opaque supply chains.

Fox News: Deadly drug stronger than fentanyl spreads rapidly across the Americas, experts warn
Nitazenes, a class of synthetic opioids more potent than fentanyl, are increasingly linked to overdose deaths. Initially developed as pain relievers in the 1950s, they were never approved due to overdose risks. Since 2019, nitazenes have infiltrated the illicit drug market across continents, particularly in North America.
These drugs are cheap to produce, making them appealing to traffickers as authorities crack down on fentanyl. They can be found in various forms and often mixed with other substances, increasing the risk of unintentional overdose. Experts emphasize the need for better testing and public awareness to combat this growing threat.

Forbes: Perseid Meteor Shower Begins Next Week — When To Get The Best View
The Perseid meteor shower will peak on August 12-13, but visibility will be hampered by an 84%-lit moon, reducing the expected meteors from 50-75 per hour to only a few. Bright "fireballs" may still be visible if skies are clear.
For optimal viewing, it's advised to escape urban light pollution and allow time for eyes to adjust. The next major meteor shower, the Geminids, will peak on December 13-14 under better conditions.

Fox News: AI models can secretly infect each other
A recent study reveals that AI models can unknowingly transmit subliminal traits, such as bias or harmful suggestions, to one another, even when training data appears clean. This phenomenon poses risks, as hidden traits may influence AI behavior without detection.
Experts warn that this could allow bad actors to manipulate AI systems, raising concerns about model safety and alignment. Improved transparency and understanding of AI training processes are essential to mitigate these risks.
