Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel dropped as an NBC contributor following outcry
She had zero credibility and a record of lying, gaslighting and making public character assassination attempts against the very reporters, pundits and staff that NBC management was hiring her to work in this position. She was Trump's RNC hatchet woman for nearly 6 years and it was crazy for them to have thought bringing her in was a good idea.

Fediverse | Probleme bei der Federation
Es gibt im Fediverse einige Newsbots deren 'Anrisse' bei mir scheinbar ohne Link zum Orginalbeitrag sind. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel diesen Beitrag. Bei mir (Friendica) sieht er so aus:

Converting rainforest to plantation impacts food webs and biodiversity
Every day, new areas of rainforests are converted into plantations, drastically changing tropical biodiversity and the way the ecosystem functions.ScienceDaily
As oil palm plantations encroach on rainforests, wild primates increasingly enter them to forage, where they face the threat of being eaten by feral dogs, killed for raiding crops, or caught by traffickers for the pet trade.
