Networks of left- and right-wing websites masquerading as independent local news publishers are spending big on Meta to spread their “news.”

    Hm, this seems a bit bothsidery.

    The right has mastered the art of having always-on far-right content being drilled into the heads of Americans. I don’t see anything on the left that comes anywhere near that.

    Also, this is “from the left”:

    The new sites “cover” Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, Alaska, and Maine — all states with key congressional races this cycle. The sites produce coverage of the Trump administration that is invariably negative, with recent stories such as “How tariffs are showing up in your grocery bill,” “Hundreds of thousands of Ohioans have lost Medicaid coverage, and that could double,” and “More than 110,000 North Carolina residents have lost food assistance in past year.”

    Um, so tariffs aren’t showing up in your grocery bill?

    Which part of Ohioans losing Medicaid coverage, including the projections, is wrong? Same for NC.
