NEW: JAMA, one of the world's most-read medical journals, is under pressure from the scientific community after tweeting that “no physician is racist” while promoting a podcast.

buzzfeednews.com/article/stepha…
During the episode, a top editor questioned if structural racism exists in health care: “Many people like myself are offended by the implication that we are somehow racist.”

But countless studies show that health providers are more likely to give Black patients worse care.
Now, doctors and researchers are pressing for sweeping changes and are boycotting publishing their research in the journal until it addresses its failures. The outcry has resulted in a push for JAMA to diversify its staff.

QAnon believers are wrestling with whether to keep on believing or to abandon a cause that, for some, became core to their identities. @scaachi spoke to four former and current believers over the last few months to see what has — and hasn’t — changed.

buzzfeednews.com/article/scaach…
Ashley Vanderbilt, a millennial stay-at-home mom who believed in many QAnon-sanctioned mass delusions, is now dedicated to deprogramming herself and disavowing the movement. She is also trying to save others from getting sucked into Q.
“I’m interviewing and I’m, you know, being an example and stuff. And it’s like, sometimes I wonder if they think, ‘Oh, she’s, she’s completely free and clear. She’s of sound mind’. And like, I’m still struggling.”

NEW: These stories show how the royal press team defended Kate Middleton vs how they defended Meghan Markle from negative coverage 👀
buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
@ellievhall reviewed thousands of stories while Meghan Markle was a working member of the royal family. What she found supported Markle's claim during her Oprah interview that the press office failed to fully protect her.
@ellievhall The Palace press office has tremendous influence as it manages the UK media's appetite for royal family coverage. It can try to kill false or invasive stories. It can contest anonymous claims by going on record. It can use pressure to reframe unflattering articles.

New #FinCENFiles: When JPMorgan was asked to facilitate a $1.1 billion oil deal, the bank's own staff warned of a risk of “corruption.”

The bank sent the money anyway.
buzzfeednews.com/article/tomwar…
The deal, involving drilling rights off Nigeria's coast, should have been a windfall for the country's taxpayers. But a corrupt regime had previously sold those rights — to a company controlled by a high-ranking minister. The money was heading into his pockets.
Banks are supposed to be on the lookout for corruption. So a JP Morgan Chase compliance officer outlined the bank’s options. “We could refuse to pay,” or the bank could route the money through the UK, where it would face fewer obstacles than if sent through the US.

Bachelor Nation has a race problem, according to four former #TheBachelor contestants who spoke to @stephemcneal.

They say the franchise didn’t support them when they heard insensitive comments from fellow contestants and received racist abuse from fans: buzzfeednews.com/article/stepha…
White contestants have been able to cause drama, pick fights and emerge with a healthy Instagram following.

Black contestants said they were subject to harassment and abuse from fans simply for being Black on a show that, they feel, was never built to support them.
“It speaks to who America is in probably one of the realest ways ever,” said Jubilee Sharpe, who appeared on the show’s 20th season. “But people don't realize it.”
