Meet the billionaire who loves Fox News and owns a piece of CNN

Amanda Northrup/Vox One of the world’s most powerful news outlets has a new mandate — which happens to sync with the views of one of the world’s richest men. CNN is in flux. It has a new owner, and a new boss, who promises to remake the news channel and has told employees to be prepared for “a time of change.” Most of those changes have yet to manifest. But one of the first ones — canceling its long-running *Reliable Sources* show and pushing out anchor Brian Stelter — have already unsettled some CNN employees and viewers.

Many of us enjoy a drink at the end of a stressful day. But for some, this is less of a discretionary treat and more of a nightly must-have. While alcohol reduction campaigns ask us to check our relationship with alcohol, emphasising the role it can play in causing violence and disease, our research has found many Australian women view alcohol in a different way.

Reducing Student Debt

A few days ago, Joe Biden announced a plan to reduce student debt. The Right went bonkers. It'll fuel inflation, they howled. Paul Krugman writes: What you need to have is a sense of scale. If you’re worried about inflation, the relevant number here isn’t the eventual cost to taxpayers, which might be several hundred billion dollars. It is, rather, the effect on private spending. And I just don’t see any way to claim that this effect will be large. Consider the fact that before the Covid pandemic — that is, before the government paused required payments on federally held student ... read more
