The Hound 12/17

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about a push inside the FDA to add a black-box warning to COVID vaccines, a symbolic rollback of federal commitment to renewable energy, and more.

We’re also tracking how media priorities shape public understanding — especially in moments of crisis. When major outlets choose promotion over urgent reporting, it raises serious questions about whose interests are really being served.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that media outlets put public safety and factual reporting first, especially during moments of national tragedy.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:

Until next time,

P.S. We’re always looking for new independent and progressive media sources to spotlight in our roundups. If there’s an outlet you think would be a great addition, reply to this email with your recommendation. We’d love to hear from you!
