French newspaper has a radical idea after polls failed to predict Trump

WashPost Is Richly Rewarded for False News About Russia Threat While Public Is Deceived

The Intercept by Glenn Greenwald

 

In the past six weeks, the Washington Post published two blockbuster stories about the Russian threat that went viral: one on how Russia is behind a massive explosion of “fake news,” the other on how it invaded the U.S. electric grid. Both articles were fundamentally false. Each now bears a humiliating editor’s note grudgingly acknowledging that the core claims of the story were fiction: The first note was posted a full two weeks later to the top of the original article; the other was buried the following day at the bottom.

ProPublica heads to the Dark Web so that its readers aren’t spied on

The Next Web by Amanda Connolly

The Dark Web is like the internet’s evil twin. It’s where the digital world makes its underhanded, often illegal, exchanges and thanks to the Tor network, all of this can be done under cloak and dagger. There are people who operate legally on the Tor network, of course, and they enjoy the privacy of being virtually untraceable, and can even access a more secure and private version of Facebook. And now they can also enjoy some investigative journalism, courtesy of ProPublica, which has just become the first ever news publication to launch on the Tor network. Speaking to Wired about…
