Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low

In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.
"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

The clause would allow customs ofcls to hold up shipments if the destination seemed illogical, such as crossing #Russia to reach #CentralAsia countries.
The preparations are being made, in anticipation of a change in Washington's position, should #Trump be reelected.
Any softening by DC would leave #Europe in a difficult position, as it is the #UnitedStates, w/sweeping powers to punish #sanctions busting globally, that primarily enforces the rules.
The possible steps include "catch-all" clauses to ID & stop suspect goods shipments to #Russia & wider #oil shipping curbs….
There are also discussions about changing a requirement that a freeze on Russian central bank #assets, the biggest single Western #sanction on Moscow, must be renewed by European capitals every 6 months….
A few member states are working on…a “catch-all" clause applied either to battlefield goods or across a larger spectrum of banned exports, 3 EU diplomats said.
#Europe seeks to underpin #Russia #sanctions, fearing that a return of #Trump could undermine Western efforts to isolate Moscow….
The talks among #EU ofcls & envoys are centred on several initiatives to ensure that European sanctions would remain in place longer term, bolstering them through tighter enforcement, even if Washington changes tack.
