The mainstream media has failed us. It is all too often racist, biased, and enthralled to corporate interests. Far from holding power to account it has allowed itself to be transformed into a mouthpiece for the establishment or those with the deepest pockets.

Shop across England & pub gardens set to reopen in 'major' leap to freedom
LONDON - Hundreds of thousands of businesses have been closed since early January when England entered a third lockdown to stem surging infections driven by the "Kent" variant of the virus.
A vaccination campaign that has delivered a first shot to well over half of adults and lockdown measures have cut deaths by more than 95% and cases by over 90% from the January peak.

French audiences develop a taste for window theatre
PARIS - French actress Isabelle Cagnat is pining to get back on stage once the pandemic is over, but on Sunday she had to be content with performing from behind the windows of a fashion boutique.
Outside the hip apparel store in central Paris, a small crowd of several dozen people gathered under a cold grey sky, some passers-by, others who had seen notices on social media. Organisers implored the audience to stand well apart to avoid trouble with police.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Jon Rahm had double reason to smile on Sunday carding a final round six-under 66 to claim a top five Masters finish and a picture of his new born son.

Blockchain and Cryptocurrency FAQs
Much has been written about cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Many see these as technologies of the future, but they are very much technologies of today. Here is a kind of digital 101 to give you the basic run down on both.
What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are a digital form of currency. Like regular money, they can be traded and used to buy goods or services, from those outlets which accept them. However, they do not exist physically and are not issued by a central bank.

Blame game starts early as Hartlepool election looms
WESTMINSTER (Labour Buzz) - Keir Starmer’s first big voting test getting near with next month’s Hartlepool by-election, and it’s not going well. A new poll gives the Tories a seven-point lead in a seat which Jeremy Corbyn won in both 2017 and 2019.
Barring a miracle, therefore, it seems the Conservatives are likely to see their majority get even fatter next month. All that’s left, therefore, is to decide who is to blame. Fortunately, that’s one of Labour Twitter’s favourite pass times.
