Meta Knows Your Kids’ Faces, Rite Aid Knows Your Name, and WordPress Doesn’t Know Anything Anymore
A closer look at the AI, privacy, surveillance, and tech stories behind the headlines.
This week’s tech headlines cover everything from Meta’s use of facial recognition and the growing questions around children’s privacy to biometric surveillance, AI development, WordPress, and the future of warfare. But the first version of a story is rarely the whole story. This article takes a closer look at the reporting behind these headlines, separating what is actually known from what is being assumed, exaggerated, or left out. The goal is not just to follow the latest tech news, but to understand what these developments could mean for privacy, security, technology, and the people affected by them.

The Expert With Connections
Experts the media turns to, and the connections they don't always mention
The article from Let's Start with the Truth examines how major news outlets presented vaccine recommendations from medical experts without consistently disclosing their industry relationships. Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt was quoted by multiple outlets during the 2026 fall vaccine season, but those stories identified him primarily by his academic position while omitting documented relationships with Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi, and other pharmaceutical companies. The article notes that Schaffner has disclosed these relationships in professional settings and that other experts without comparable vaccine-industry ties were available to journalists. Rather than arguing that industry relationships automatically disqualify an expert, the article focuses on the responsibility of newsrooms to provide readers with enough information to evaluate the sources they are quoting.

The Backdoor in the Medicaid Rule
The new federal restriction on Medicaid funding for pediatric gender-affirming medication and surgery is being covered as a culture-war story.
The article from Let's Start With The Truth examines the new federal Medicaid rule restricting federal funding for pediatric gender-affirming medications and surgery, focusing less on the culture-war debate and more on how the rule actually works. CMS is not banning the care or changing its legal or FDA status. Instead, it removes the federal share of Medicaid funding, meaning states that continue covering the care would have to pay the full cost themselves. The article focuses on the legal mechanism CMS used, arguing that the agency relied on

Can Your Body Make More GLP-1 Naturally?
The GLP-1 You Already Have
Dr. Ben Bikman explores why some people may not produce enough GLP-1 naturally and how chronically elevated insulin could make the intestinal cells responsible for releasing GLP-1 resistant to insulin. He explains how this may contribute to impaired satiety, increased carbohydrate cravings, and a cycle of higher glucose and insulin. Ben also discusses how GLP-1 medications can be used as a temporary tool to make it easier to control cravings and establish better metabolic habits, rather than simply increasing the dose for maximum weight loss. He also addresses concerns about lean-mass loss and why he believes GLP-1 therapy should include an exit strategy focused on improving insulin sensitivity and eventually reducing reliance on the medication.

The Cameras Went Dark Four Days Before Xi Arrives
A fight over White House press access left presidential events without the usual independent TV pool
Let’s Start with the Truth looks into the fallout after President Trump barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. When CNN’s turn came to operate the shared television pool, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox declined to replace it, temporarily leaving presidential events without the independent video and audio feed normally shared across television networks. Print, radio, wire reporters, and photographers continued covering the White House, while the administration launched its own “Trump TV” video stream. The article highlights the timing: the blackout began just days before Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit and during a consequential week of foreign-policy events.

Avoiding Metabolic Derangement
The diet wars—and the books that challenged conventional advice
In this 2003 article, Coach Glassman looked back at the fight between low-fat, high-carbohydrate dietary advice and a growing group of clinicians, researchers, and authors arguing that excessive carbohydrate consumption and hyperinsulinemia were central to obesity and metabolic disease. He credits books by Robert Atkins, Barry Sears, Michael and Mary Dan Eades, Uffe Ravnskov, Loren Cordain, and others with giving people an alternative to prevailing dietary guidance—and allowing them to test those ideas for themselves. Greg argues that the results helped drive a bottom-up reconsideration of conventional nutrition advice before much of the medical establishment was willing to do so.

The Vaccine Order That Can't Order Anything
Let’s Start with the Truth digs into President Trump’s executive order seeking to narrow the childhood vaccine recommendations and argues that the headline is more consequential than its immediate legal effect. The order itself acknowledges that implementation has been delayed by litigation and directs agencies to act only to the extent allowed by law. A federal court has blocked the administration’s reconstituted vaccine advisory committee and related schedule changes, while the administration is appealing that ruling.
