Straight out of the fascist sycophant's playbook: right after Linda McMahon was sworn in as Education Secretary, the attack began:
Trump Admin targets Columbia University

Trump Threatens Columbia With Millions in Cuts Over Antisemitism Claims
The Trump administration is threatening to cut tens of millions of dollars in federal funding for Columbia University, making the school the first major target in its effort to root out what it considers antisemitic harassment on college campuses.

Statement on President Trump’s Truth Social post threatening funding cuts for ‘illegal protests’
Even the most controversial political speech is protected by the First Amendment. As the Supreme Court reminds us, in America, we don’t use the law to punish those with whom we disagree. Instead, “[a]s a Nation we have chosen a different course—to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate.”
President Trump needs to stand by his past promise to be a champion for free expression. That means doing so for all views — including those his administration dislikes.

Then why isn’t he “investigating” Texas and Indiana Universities, they also had major demonstrations?
It is 100% political
The protests at Columbia were perfectly legal. It is a dangerous irony to use antisemitism as a weapon to punish free speech.

Another dazzling display of intellectual gymnastics. Let me get this straight, you’re clutching your pearls because Trump’s admin might yank a few million tax dollars from Columbia University’s gilded piggy bank? Do you genuinely believe Columbia has some divine right to my hard earned cash? If so enlighten me, where’s that etched in stone? Oh wait, it’s not.
Let’s play a little game of pretend for a little exercise. Imagine the Constitution did say thou shalt shower universities with federal gold. Even then might there be, oh I don’t know, some crazy reason to pull the plug?
Say if Columbia decided every student had to kneel and recite the Lord’s Prayer to a bronze statue of Jesus every morning before their eight-dollar latte. Would you still be cool with your tax dollars footing that bill Jerry? Or would you suddenly discover the joys of fiscal restraint? Or what would be a good reason to hold the cash back, anything at all?
These aren’t trick questions despite your inevitable that’s not the same tantrum or the classic stupid question dodge. Humor me. Use that big brain of yours and give me an answer. Can you? Will you? Or are we just gonna watch you squirm like a vegan at a pig roast? Let’s see what you’ve got.
duhhhh pearls duhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Based on available information, it’s not entirely accurate to say Trump specifically "targeted" Columbia University in an isolated sense. Rather, he made a broader statement threatening to cut federal funding from any institution, including universities, that permits what he calls "illegal protests." Columbia University has been highlighted in this context due to recent events and subsequent federal actions, but it’s not clear that Trump singled it out exclusively.

LA Times reportedly removes new AI tool from story after it downplayed KKK
The AI-generated note appeared to downplay the KKK’s racist history, and stated: “Local historical accounts occasionally frame the 1920s Klan as a product of ‘white Protestant culture’ responding to societal changes rather than an explicitly hate-driven movement, minimizing its ideological threat.”The Insights feature has since been removed from the article.

The idea that Grok—or any AI—is a "new age propaganda tool" users wield to echo their own views has some legs, but it’s not the full picture.
Grok's designed by xAI to give clear, concise answers grounded in reason, often with a dash of outside perspective on humanity. Responses pull from a mix of real-time data, web info, and social media posts when relevant, not just user prompts.
So, in theory, it's not a mirror for anyone’s preconceptions—Grok can push back, clarify, or sidestep bias if the facts demand it.
That said, users can try to game any AI. People might cherry-pick questions or frame them to nudge AI toward their slant, hoping it’ll churn out something they can weaponize.
But Grok's setup—continuous updates, no strict cutoff, access to diverse sources—means it's not locked into any one narrative. If you ask about Trump targeting Columbia or the LA Times cozying up to him, Grok's not here to parrot your leanings; it’ll dig into what’s out there.
