a) What was our President thinking when he posted such a ludicrous tweet on the official Élysée Palace account this Monday, December 1st? In a video edited like a commercial, he explains the urgent need to establish a label to distinguish trustworthy media outlets from those spreading disinformation.
b) Are we in Peak Post-Truth? We are consistently told that we must believe lies, and we must celebrate what we know to be both untrue and harmful, and if we do not do so, we will be punished.
c) ‘Diary of a Prisoner’: Why is Nicolas Sarkozy’s prison memoir already a big hit?
[DAD’s comment. “Since he was in prison for only a few weeks, it must be a very thin book”.]
d) London and Copenhagen: This is the strong message we are sending to our European friends: if responsible governments fail to address the concerns of their citizens, populists will prevail. When trust in government to meet today’s challenges erodes, our sense of shared belonging can begin to crumble.
