Hackwatch is where we monitor the mainstream media’s favorite Democratic-leaning economic analysts for conflicts of interest, perverse incentives, and just flat-out erroneous reasoning. We identify who the bad actors are, explain why they’re compromised and wrong, and demand that outlets stop poisoning the information ecosystem with discredited neoliberal orthodoxy and start giving people access to other, better-informed perspectives.

H5N1 is known to be highly contagious between birds, and 2024 saw the first highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 spreading amongst U.S. cattle, as well as dozens of infections of humans.
