   Iconoclast: YouTube Censors Truth, Hosts Disinfo   
      
   Still burning over past YouTube censorship of his site’s “factually   
   accurate video about lefties’ “rigged election” comments,” TKNews’ Matt   
   Taibbi jumps on the latest (CBS’s) “verification” of the Hunter Biden   
   laptop, noting how “major news media — including CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and   
   countless other outlets — actively embraced disinformation,” namely the   
   false “Russian information operation” charge, to justify ignoring The   
   Post’s reporting. “YouTube also pushed this disinformation campaign. It   
   still does”: “Despite the total absence of evidence ever existing that the   
   laptop was either fake or part of a Russian ‘information operation,’ and a   
   growing pile of evidence that the laptop is real,” it still hosts   
   “countless videos promoting the conspiracy theory,” including by PBS, CBS,   
   CNN, MSNBC and Washington Post writer David Ignatius. “YouTube has become   
   a place that censors true content but traffics in official and quasi-   
   official deceptions.”   
      
   From the right: Kick Schiff Off Intel Committee   
   House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy vows to boot Rep. Adam Schiff from the   
   Intelligence Committee, after a four-year reign as chairman “marked by   
   abuse and grotesque politicization,” cheers The Federalist’s Tristan   
   Justice. Schiff “lied to the American people time and again,” McCarthy   
   notes. The California Democrat, notes Justice, served as his party’s   
   “point man” on the “conspiracy to take down” President Donald Trump “and   
   undermine democracy” via the “Russia hoax.” He falsely claimed “for years   
   to have evidence that Trump colluded with Russia” and repeatedly leaked   
   confidential testimony. Schiff has been “at the center of practically   
   every fabricated scandal” on Trump. Not ousting him would be   
   “irresponsible.”   
      
   From the left: Dems Have Rich 2024 Options   
   “It appears inevitable that Joe Biden will seek a second term,” admits New   
   York magazine’s Ross Barkan, though and if he had a “more politically   
   competent and popular vice-president, party leaders’ calls “for him to   
   step aside would be much louder.” But her “dismal approval ratings” and   
   failure to build a “meaningful profile” mean “the case for [Kamala] Harris   
   is weak enough that Biden almost has to run again.” If he doesn’t,   
   Democrats’ success this year gives them a “number of battle-tested   
   senators and governors,” such as Govs. Jared Polis (Colo.) and Gretchen   
   Whitmer (Mich.).   
      
   Business desk: One Man’s Fight Against ESG   
   A “nationwide campaign” against environmental, social and governance   
   investing “promises to gather force now that Republicans maintained   
   control of most state legislatures in the midterms,” report Bloomberg’s   
   Saijel Kishan and Jeff Green. And it’s thanks largely to fast-food magnate   
   Andy Puzder, “a central figure” in an “ambitious network of like-minded   
   conservatives” taking aim at major corporations like BlackRock Inc. Seeing   
   the ESG movement as “an intricate plan to defeat our democracy,” Puzder &   
   Co. have gotten states to push anti-ESG laws, and Republicans vow to probe   
   the movement in congressional hearings. Even the young are tuning in: A   
   video featuring Puzder that “aims to explain the risks of ESG to college   
   and high school students now has more than two million views.”   
      
   Woke watch: False Panic on Maternal Mortality   
   Beware the “woke panic on maternal mortality,” warn Stanley Goldfarb &   
   Benita Cotton-Orr at City Journal. Academics, journalists and Team Biden   
   cite “an epidemic of black mothers dying in the delivery room,” but that   
   narrative has “more to do with advancing the notion of systemic racism   
   than medical reality.” Just 861 out of America’s 3.6 million 2020 births   
   resulted in pregnancy-related deaths; around 350 were white women and 300   
   black. “Scientifically speaking, it’s hard to draw society-wide   
   conclusions from such a small sample.” And the stats include deaths “up to   
   a year after delivery” and those caused by pregnancy-aggravated   
   “underlying and preexisting medical conditions.” A CDC Foundation study   
   found fewer than a third of preventable deaths “attributable to individual   
   providers.” Black mothers aren’t “dying because doctors and nurses are   
   racist,” yet the notion is spurring “discriminatory and dangerous policies   
   across health care.”
