Lots of good traders and bars coming soon to hang out in this beautiful forest
Down the main parade is the Future Dome and the #ExtinctionRebellion stage for training, panels, talks and DJs at night
Nearby is our famous @frontlineclub bar and a documentary tent where we’ll screen dozens of documentaries including #TheGreatHack

The Media, Johnson and Covid: ‘An Orgy of Narcissism’ that Killed Thousands 1/23

bylinetimes.com/2023/11/01/the…
I was still ill from an early dose of COVID-19, vitiated by a fever, strange dreams and a constant popping sound in my head when I was interviewed by @PoliticsJOE_UK in mid-April 2020 about a speech Boris Johnson had made two months earlier. 2/23
These remarks were ‘a smoking gun’ to my eyes because they revealed that Johnson’s ‘take it on the chin’ comments 5 March 2020 were not casual. Though dismissed by organisations like @FullFact as just speculation, they were indeed the real strategy 3/23fullfact.org/health/boris-j…

It's actually worse. Lebedev was part of Russian Govt's “Open Crimea: By Own Eyes” International Media Forum in 2017.

Working for occupying govt. Hiding in plain sight

Lebedev was more than just a hotel owner after the annexation of Crimea - he was initiated this event and is described as chair of the Board of Directors of the National Reserve Corporation, aswell as publisher of The Independent and The London Evening Standard Alexander Lebedev.
During that event, which he organised, the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denied all the documented abuses of the Crimean Tartars. Pure Putin propaganda - six years ago sputnikglobe.com/20170611/crime…

Brief thread on the scandal the other papers won't tell you - Hancock, Osborne and the hundreds of millions in subsidies to the British Press bylinetimes.com/2023/03/01/fro…
Leaked WhatsApp messages between Matt Hancock and George Osborne have revealed he asked the then Editor of the Evening Standard to run a favourable front page story on COVID testing as the lack of uptake was “hard for my target” as Health Secretary.
This came at the same time the newspaper received a share of tens of millions of pounds from Boris Johnson’s Government – “bungs” that were later “dressed up as COVID relief”, according to Dominic Cummings.

Quick 🧵 on Taking Sides in Journalism as the anniversary of Putin's full invasion of Ukraine looms
bylinetimes.com/2023/02/17/tak…
‘You’re taking sides,’ they say. ‘You’ve swallowed Nato propaganda’ or you’re like ‘the journalists ­hugging Zelensky’. These are some of the negative comments Byline Times has received over our year of covering the full Russian ­invasion of Ukraine.
The Columbia Journalism Review recently devoted no fewer than 23,000 words suggesting that The New York Times reporting on Donald Trump’s many Russian connections during the 2016 US Presidential Election was a ‘hoax’.

Wow. A bestseller two days after launch! Thanks to our fantastic supporters and stellar Byline Supplement team - @Hardeep_Matharu @AdamBienkov @Heidi_Cuda @MattBernardini7 Rachel Kerr.

Below I'll explain how Byline Supplement differs from newssite and print edition
While bylinetimes.com is a daily news site,and the print edition is a monthly newspaper, we felt we needed something more like a weekly magazine for a more reflective and cultural take.
So bylinesupplement.com is the beginning of that. We also focus more on US coverage, and can incorporate the work of @bylineradio and @BylineTV
