The parties “have agreed to part ways,” the network says | Fox News announced on Monday that the network and its prime-time anchor Tucker Carlson have mutually agreed to end their association after more than a decade. “FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the US broadcaster said, adding that Carlson aired his final show last Friday. Fox expressed gratitude to Carlson “for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.” Neither Fox nor Carlson have offered an explanation for the break-up. The network did say that last Friday’s episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight will be the last, and that a newscast will be aired in its stead starting Monday evening. ● Shares in the network’s parent company, Fox Corporation, slid by 4.7% after the announcement. ● In the absence of an official explanation, there has been widespread speculation that the break-up might be related to a recent lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems. The company had sued the network for defamation in a Delaware court, alleging that Fox hosts had promoted “baseless” claims by former president Donald Trump about the 2020 election. Fox settled the lawsuit for $787.5 million last week.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has quietly confirmed that at least 1.1 million Americans have “died suddenly” ever since Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” were introduced under Operation Warp Speed. | Since the time when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for the jabs, more than six million Americans total have died. Of this, 1,106,079 deaths are considered to be “excess,” based on the five-year average from 2015 to 2019. ● Other government data confirms that mortality rates per 100,000 people are highest among the “fully vaccinated” population, suggesting covid injections are the cause of all this excess mortality. (Related: The CDC has been removing covid jab injury and death reports from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System [VAERS].) We have the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC) to thank for all this data, which is doing the work that the CDC and the FDA refuse to do by actually spelling it all out for the public to see. An intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries, the OEC was founded in 1961 to “stimulate economic progress and world trade.” Part of what the group does is compile data and extrapolate it in an easy-to-digest format. ● Thus far, every single week in 2022 has seen a significant and noticeable number of excess deaths. At one point, upwards of 350,000 excess deaths were being reported per week, though the average has since decreased somewhat. “This means 1,700 more Americans actually died by week 38 of 2022 than those who died by week 38 of 2020, despite the fact there was a huge wave of alleged Covid-19 deaths during this period,” reports The Exposé about what the data shows.

The US social media giant has cited counterclaims by “independent fact-checkers” from Norway and Ukraine | Facebook has been criticized after opting to label reports by US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh as “false.” Hersh has made claims about American involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and the alleged theft of US aid by Kiev, although the social media giant said “fact-checking” by outlets connected with Norway and Ukraine justified its use of the label. ● Hersh claimed in February that last year’s sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, which were built to transport gas from Russia to Germany, had been ordered by US President Joe Biden and carried out by a joint US-Norwegian team. Both nations have denied any responsibility. ● Hersh’s article on the pipeline sabotage, which he published on the platform Substack, is now flagged as “false information” by Facebook, journalist Michael Shellenberger noted on Thursday. Facebook uses third parties, which it considers independent fact-checkers, to make decisions on whether to warn users about the content of links posted on the platform. ● While Hersh’s claims are disputed, Facebook “has decided to take a side” and is “censoring” the veteran journalist, Shellenberger argued. The fact-checker in this case was Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. On March 14, the organization reprinted an article by Faktisk.no, a media watchdog which counts NRK as among its partners. The watchdog claimed that, based on open source data, Hersh was mistaken about the alleged involvement of Norwegian Navy ships in the Nord Stream sabotage. “Whether Hersh is wrong or right, his reporting should be debated publicly, not censored,” insisted Shellenberger, who recently helped expose social media censorship as part of the Twitter Files.

On April 18, 2023, the FDA in their infinite wisdom “Authorized Changes to Simplify Use of Bivalent mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines”. In their own words, the FDA...

...amended the emergency use authorizations (EUAs) of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent mRNA vaccines to simplify the vaccination schedule for most individuals. This action includes authorizing the current bivalent vaccines (original and omicron BA.4/BA.5 strains) to be used for all doses administered to individuals 6 months of age and older, including for an additional dose or doses for certain populations. The monovalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are no longer authorized for use in the United States.

● Children 6 months through 5 years of age who are unvaccinated may receive a two-dose series of the Moderna bivalent vaccine (6 months through 5 years of age) OR a three-dose series of the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent vaccine (6 months through 4 years of age). Children who are 5 years of age may receive two doses of the Moderna bivalent vaccine or a single dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent vaccine.
● Children 6 months through 5 years of age who have received one, two or three doses of a monovalent COVID-19 vaccine may receive a bivalent vaccine, but the number of doses that they receive will depend on the vaccine and their vaccination history.

It appears that China is going to reunify Taiwan and may use force to do so. It also appears the US may try to interfere with that and war between the US and China may result.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hit Rep. Eric Swalwell where it hurt the most during a hearing on Wednesday, causing mass outrage among Democrats in the chamber. | After Swalwell finished a lecture attacking Republicans as anti-Semitites, Greene took the microphone and accused him of having a “sexual relationship with a Chinese spy.” That sent things off the rails as the chair of the committee weighed whether to strike the words from the record. Finally, following many more minutes of deliberation, the chair ruled that the words would not be stricken. [...] ● Swalwell has long posed a security risk, and once Republicans took back the House, he lost his coveted spot on the intelligence committee. That was well-deserved given how wrapped up he was with a known Chinese spy. The sexual relationship is almost secondary at that point, though still important. Regardless, until Swalwell is willing to provide some real answers, pointing out his highly questionable past is fair game. Greene was just the first with the guts to do it in a hearing. VIDEO

Whistleblower account to inspector general, notification to Congress calls into question AG Merrick Garland testimony | A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department's top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in "preferential treatment and politics" to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden, providing evidence as a whistleblower that conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent testimony to Congress that the decision to bring charges against Biden was being left to the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware. According to a letter from the whistleblower's attorney Mark Lytle to Congress obtained by Just the News, the IRS agent revealed he is seeking to provide detailed disclosures about a high-profile, sensitive case to the tax-writing committees in Congress, which have special authority under federal tax privacy laws to receive such information.

AllSides Summary: Following the $787.5 million settlement announcement in Dominion Voting Systems’s defamation lawsuit against Fox News, writers across the spectrum are reflecting on what was gained and what was lost by averting a high-profile trial regarding misinformation, news media, and the first amendment.

From The Left: Left-rated voices broadly expressed disappointment that the trial didn’t move forward, with many eager for court testimony from prominent right-rated media figures like Tucker Carlson (Right Bias) and former Fox News CEO and current chairman Rupert Murdoch. Michelle Goldberg (Left Bias) wrote that Fox had to settle because the network “had no viable defense,” determining that “Fox has just shown the world what it’s willing to pay to avoid the unmasking.” A Daily Beast writer determined the settlement proved that “bad-faith right-wing actors with money can still trump accountability.”

From The Right: Right-rated voices gave less attention to the settlement announcement, but those reflecting on the news generally voiced relief that a settlement was reached and a precedent-setting verdict was avoided. A writer in Reason (Lean Right Bias) argued that “letting the government directly punish Fox News hosts for their statements—even if those statements end up being defamatory—would start us down way too slippery a slope.” A writer in the Washington Examiner determined a verdict in either direction would have proved detrimental to news media. A verdict in Fox’s favor, they wrote, would give the “green light for pernicious behavior,” and a verdict in Dominion’s favor would result in “narrowing First Amendment protections in ways antithetical to freedom.”

In another indication that the indictment has helped Trump to grow his fundraising base, nearly a quarter of those who contributed to Trump during that period had never given to him before.

CDC Oblivious to COVID-19 Illness and Vaccination as Determinants | Peter A. McCullough, MD | Modern obstetrical care in the US has had a major impact in reducing maternal death rates over several decades. Now there is reversal of these trends. From the start of the pandemic there have been reports with mixed results for mortality among pregnant women with COVID-19 infection and after COVID-19 vaccination. Sadly, many women have had both exposures in 2021 and beyond. ● The CDC reports that ~65% of women have taken a vaccine—most before conception and the remainder through the term of gestation. This occurred because the CDC advised that pregnant women take this risk with no assurances on the health of the mother or baby through pregnancy. ● Now the CDC is reporting record maternal death rates in 2021 compared to prior decades and in the report by Hoyert et al, has shown a stepwise increase for death during or shortly after pregnancy. All groups are up but the worst is for African American women.

Even as U.S. continues to provide funding to China for viral research, there are still no U.S. scientists in Chinese labs overseeing such U.S.-backed research, according to Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.). | The ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and staff reviewed more than 50,000 documents for the report, which found that the COVID-19 virus was created in a lab and the outbreak was likely the result of two unintentional lab leaks. ● "This report concludes most likely this was two leaks," Marshall said during a briefing with reporters ahead of the release of the report. "The possibility of a lab leak in the September-October [2019] time frame, even as early as July or August, was followed by vaccine development in November 2019. And then another lab leak seems to be the most sensible explanation in this retrospective review." ● The report determined that the U.S. government was funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
