In my #CMN396 Media and Crime course, LEOs ODing on fentanyl in the air is an example I'd use of news media spreading misinformation that *originated from police*. Cops (DEA especially) spread lies about fentanyl, cops in the field had likely panic attacks, news media repeat the lies.

Book I finished: Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto. SF heist novel on a space station featuring all kinds of characters, mostly female. Protagonist just got out of prison and is rebuilding with family that is friends *and* relations. Good stuff. makana-yamamoto.com#hammajang-luck

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.
