Tristan :ms_bisexual_flag:<p>Excellent, and rather worrying, blog from Carole Cadwalladr. An investigative journalist who I greatly admire. Best known for exposing some of the darker powers behind Brexit, and being greatly punished as a result: </p><p>'In 2016, I stumbled on a story about social media, data and ‘fake news’. That led me on a fantastical journalistic journey that turned into the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal and a long-running investigation into Trump, Brexit and Russia. This was a story that was so far above my pay grade, it was unreal. I kept on hoping for a crack team of investigative reporters of the type that you see in the movies to turn up. They never did.</p><p>The one big lesson I learned was that investigative journalism = journalism + time. Keeping going is the key. I’m hoping that this newsletter will help in the mission. Help me keep me going. And help me to connect to a network who cares about the same issues that I do.'</p><p><a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/broligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>broligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musk</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elon</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/guardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guardian</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/observer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>observer</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/carolecadwalladr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carolecadwalladr</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://broligarchy.substack.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">broligarchy.substack.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Karen Mardahl<p>Caught up with Carole Cadwalladr's "The Power" post from 18 Dec. called "Who is 'the money behind the money?'" about the "sale" of the Observer to Tortoise Media.<br>I feel sick. My late husband was a subscriber to the Guardian (I am, too) precisely because it was journalism independent of wealthy backers with "other interests than journalism". I wish dead people really could come back to haunt people and make them see the errors of their ways. He would have had a blast at Waddesdon Manor.
