> The believers aren’t just holding an opinion, they’re making decisions, taking action, voting, and even at times encouraging violence based on beliefs that are clearly wrong.

Sounds just like the USA going to war over WMDs in Iraq. Clearly we need to give even more power to the mainstream press so they can act as the sole arbiters of truth.

The article addresses your point about the drug trade:

"Stories like this are unfolding in industries across Mexico as criminal groups branch out far beyond drugs. Cartels have siphoned millions of dollars’ worth of fuel from Mexican state oil company Petróleos Mexicanos or Pemex in recent years; they steal cargo and pilfer lumber. The tentacles of organized crime extend even into Mexico’s avocado growing regions, where gangs extort farmers and hijack loads of the green fruit."

Funnily enough, Alex Jones' statement is mostly true:

"Hayes and his colleagues raised 40 male African clawed frogs in water containing atrazine, from when they were larvae all the way up until sexual maturity. The atrazine levels were about what the frogs would experience in environments where the pesticide is used, and below levels that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers safe for drinking water.

They compared this atrazine-exposed group with 40 other male frogs reared in atrazine-free water.

At the end of the experiment, all frogs in the atrazine-free group remained male, while 10 percent of the frogs exposed to atrazine were completely feminized — their genes said they should be male, but they had female anatomy, including ovaries. The feminized frogs were able to mate with males and produce viable eggs."

"Electronic copies are not exactly free."

What?

The BBC story is about ABC news suppressing the story. Does ABC news not qualify as mainstream media?

Looks like the leaked ABC video was flag-killed as well. Sure looks like the same forces that are suppressing this story in the mainstream media are doing the same thing right here on HN.

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."

Yet the story about the NBA executive stealing money fails all three strikes and it's at 120 points and going strong...

Oh, I see, that makes a lot of sense actually. Thank you for your service!

Why was the word "Israeli" removed from the title?

One experiment they could try is fixing bookmarklets, which have been broken for over 6 years now: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522

Even this 20 line PR to bring back the most basic functionality has been languishing for 7 months https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1478037

Another experiment would be allowing the user to set the new tab page to a local html file without having to create two config files full of magic incantations.
