The American Psychological Association says therapy is “effective.” But the share of Americans diagnosed with depression rose from 20% to 30% between 2015 and today, while the number of Americans in psychotherapy rose from 17 to 22 million. Victimhood ideology and a culture that values feelings over virtue are to blame.

We have to shield democracy from disinformation, says the head of the European Commission. In truth, her Orwellian "Democracy Shield" is about shielding her from democracy. And now, a new investigation reveals that the EU is financing "news" propaganda outfits to demand more censorship.

A 1990 law meant to protect Native American skeletons and sacred items has spiraled out of control, say anthropologists. Tribes are appropriating and burying non-indigenous items, including a Chinese vase, X-rays, and photographs. Now, the ransacking threatens medical science.

Scott Pelley says CBS demanded he "inject falsehoods," and wants to "murder" 60 Minutes. There's no evidence for either claim and good reason to think they're false. Pelley joins Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and Chuck Todd in spreading misinformation and then denying he had done so

Why Liberal Journalists Are So Arrogant Elite television reporters including Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and Chuck Todd have been repeatedly caught misrepresenting facts and then denying they did so

CBS has fired “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley, and rightly so. He betrayed journalistic principles in platforming debunked science, in being closed-minded and dogmatic, and in behaving like a pompous ass. Good riddance.

"60 Minutes" is the most prestigious TV news program in America. But a new review of the last 20 years of its reporting reveals serious inaccuracies and partisan bias on immigration, transgenderism, climate change, Covid, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and more.

Ukraine is winning & the US must support it until it takes back the land Russia took, says James Verini, author of a new book. But it's a grinding war of attrition that shifted modestly in Russia’s favor last year. And a growing share of Ukrainians want to trade land for peace.

James Verini: “Ukrainians will never submit to a truce that allows Russia to keep the territories it’s occupied” Author of a new book on the war, "The Theater," predicts Russian revolt against Putin and urges open-ended US support

Climate policy prevented the IPCC’s high emissions scenario, say the media. It didn’t. The scenario was never possible as it predicted burning 5x more coal than is known to exist, even as natural gas was replacing it. The IPCC must be radically reformed or shut down.

IPCC Misled The Public For Over A Decade On Emissions The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has backtracked on an apocalyptic scenario, which had assumed burning five times more coal than is known to exist
