"Poynter did the right thing
From our ratings and perspective, most of the sources on their list were accurately portrayed, however, Poynter did not provide evidence to support their claims, which is what we do on this website. We are not sure why they would not want to use our evidence based Questionable list, but instead chose OpenSources, which does not provide any evidence to support their designation of bias, conspiracy, fake news, etc. Since Poynter controls the signatories of the International Fact Checking Network it is concerning that they would publish this list without ample evidence to back the designations of UnNews."

@BitFlipper I think it is possible if you have followed them, then they subsequently block you -- easy enough to check by trying to access their profiles (all 74 of them). It would make sense (from a programming perspective) that if you block someone who you previously followed they would "automatically" be removed from your follows, but I don't know if that is the case, do you ?

If the Police are uncertain it was 'connected', what evidence is there that it IS ?

FearlessFly replies on Jul 10, 2020:
@Fred_Snerd . . . had no idea :
One day during recording, Barrett (now heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows) wandered into the studio (although Mason has since stated that he is not entirely certain whether "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was the particular work being recorded when Barrett was there). Because of his drastically changed appearance, the band did not recognize him for some time. When they eventually determined the withdrawn man in the corner was Barrett, Roger Waters became so distressed about Barrett's appearance he was reduced to tears.[6] Someone asked to play the suite again for Barrett and he said a second playback was not needed when they had just heard it. When asked what he thought of the song, Barrett said it sounded a "bit old". He subsequently slipped away during celebrations for Gilmour's wedding to Ginger Hasenbein, which took place later that day.[11] Gilmour confirmed this story, although he could not recall which composition they were working on when Barrett showed up.[12][13]
The episode is resumed by Wright as follows:
Roger was there, and he was sitting at the desk, and I came in and I saw this guy sitting behind him โ huge, bald, fat guy. I thought, "He looks a bit... strange..." Anyway, so I sat down with Roger at the desk and we worked for about ten minutes, and this guy kept on getting up and brushing his teeth and then sitting โ doing really weird things, but keeping quiet. And I said to Roger, "Who is he?" and Roger said "I don't know." and I said "Well, I assumed he was a friend of yours," and he said "No, I don't know who he is." Anyway, it took me a long time, and then suddenly I realised it was Syd, after maybe 45 minutes. He came in as we were doing the vocals for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", which was basically about Syd. He just, for some incredible reason picked the very day that we were doing a song which was about him. And we hadn't seen him, I don't think, for two years before. That's what's so incredibly... weird about this guy. And a bit disturbing, as well, I mean, particularly when you see a guy, that you don't, you couldn't recognize him. And then, for him to pick the very day we want to start putting vocals on, which is a song about him. Very strange.

You mention 'endless' negatives, but don't seem to consider that both the negative and positive are the human reality (news -- if it bleeds it leads).

"Survival of the fittest is a false narrative "

FWIW, (bipartisan) Impeachment is the Constitutional remedy. :P

The article doesn't explain why SCOTUS ruled against releasing them to Congress.

The word for "No out-of-pocket cost" is **gratis**
(in addition to DRM)
. . . that word "free" -- It doesn't always means what you say :
FearlessFly replies on Jul 9, 2020:
@hankster "[the United States Congress shall have power] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
The intent of that clause is to balance content creation against the public good to benefit ALL.
Please explain how 'locking-down' content for ALL THAT TIME "promotes the Progress of Science and useful Arts"

@hankster I encourage all to read the book "Without Copyrights"
We have only the rights that we can defend.
If only the content creators are influencing congress critters, this is what happens :
In 1789, the initial term for copyrights was 14yrs (with an option to add another 14yrs). Today the term is life-of-the-author PLUS 70yrs ! IMO, that is outrageous and NOT the intent of Article 1 Section 8 Paragraph 8 of the US Constitution.
