Teen Vogue quietly tweaks article on US airman’s self-immolation after ‘glorifying suicide’

Teen Vogue has quietly made changes to a controversial story it published about a US airman who lit himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington last month — days after critics slammed the article for “glorifying suicide” and promoting “propaganda”.

The Condé Nast-owned magazine published a March 5 article about Aaron Bushnell — the 25-year-old US airman who self-immolated on Feb. 25 while screaming, “Free Palestine!” — and the glossy publication got blasted for minimizing Bushnell’s potential mental health issues while portraying him as a martyr fighting an alleged “genocide.”

Reuters Ignores Biden, Fact Checks Babylon Bee

The Babylon Bee lives rent-free in the minds of too many journalists.

How else do you describe constant fact checks on a site that churns out satirical news stories a la The Onion?

Gregory Millard: Justin Trudeau can lose the next election but remain prime minister. Here’s how

The polls look dire for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. The Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre have enjoyed a lead gusting up to 20 per cent for several months. The prime minister’s personal totals are horrendous. These are 1984-type numbers — bringing to mind not George Orwell’s novel, but Brian Mulroney’s demolition of the Liberals in that year. While the next election is some time away, it’s hard to imagine a future in which the Liberals win more seats, let alone more votes, than the Conservatives. Yet we see little indication that Mr. Trudeau plans to resign.
