Untouchable Subjects. Fearless, Nonpartisan Reporting.
This is the story of a whistleblower, imprisoned by one federal agency, but rewarded by another beyond his wildest dreams.
Brad Birkenfeld's incredible tale begins in 2007 when he turned evidence against one of the biggest and most secretive banks in the world.
Still, he insists the real scandal isn't what happened to him, it's what happened to U.S. taxpayers.

They've built themselves high-tech television studios. They've hired armies of public relations staff. They buy advertising and commercials. They make videos. It's all to make themselves look good. And they're doing it with our tax money.
Sunday on Full Measure we set out to learn how much money the feds are spending on these efforts. And we'll have some maddening examples.
The US airlines are at war with Middle Eastern competitors that are flying routes in and out of the US to all kinds of places around the globe--not just the Middle East. This foreign competition has kicked down fares for US passengers by more than 30% in some cases.
But the big three US airlines say it's unfair competition and stands to destroy their industry and hurt American jobs. Scott Thuman will have both sides of the argument.
And Joce Sterman will Follow the Money and tell us how some federal officials and agencies are giving out expensive, symbolic tokens called "challenge coins" -- and we're paying for it.
We'll never waste your time rehashing news you've already heard all week.

The love-hate relationship that journalists have with Twitter is turning mostly to hate, with an ample serving of self-loathing.
Even some of the most prominent posters are now blaming Twitter — or, more precisely, their addiction to the site — for many of the ills that plague the profession.
But there's an interesting twist here that's gotten less attention: Is Twitter corrupting journalism or exposing its utter unfairness?
Try a thought experiment: If every media type in America quit Twitter tomorrow, would journalism be that much better? Or would its deep-seated problems — many of which existed before Jack Dorsey's network started gaining traction in 2008 — continue unabated?
Given Twitter's strengths — as a forum for insta-coverage and debate, self-promotion and link-sharing that opens the national dialogue to many millions — the sudden disdain of its media users is remarkable.

]]>Amazon pulled the documentary film “Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe” from its streaming services on March 2, in the most recent of several moves that restrict the public’s access to content that questions the safety of vaccines.
According to CNN, Amazon also made unavailable two other films: “We Don’t Vaccinate!” and “Shoot ‘Em Up: The Truth About Vaccines.”
Amazon didn’t respond to requests by The Epoch Times and by CNN as to why the films were removed.
The creators of “Vaxxed,” which has been available on Amazon since 2016, shared the rationale Amazon gave them for removing the documentary:
“Availability Issue: We are always listening to customer feedback and iterating on their behalf. During a quality assurance review, we found that the following title contains content that doesn’t meet our customer content quality expectations. As a result, all offers (‘Included with Prime,’ Buy, and Rent) have been removed. We will not be accepting resubmission of the impacted titles.”

]]>California GOP Rep. Devin Nunes filed a major lawsuit seeking $250 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages against Twitter and a handful of its users on Monday, accusing the social media site of "shadow-banning conservatives" to secretly hide their posts, systematically censoring opposing viewpoints, and totally "ignoring" lawful complaints of repeated abusive behavior.
In a complaint filed in Virginia state court on Monday, obtained by Fox News, Nunes claimed Twitter wanted to derail his work on the House Intelligence Committee, which he chaired until 2019, as he looked into alleged and apparent surveillance abuses by the government. Nunes said Twitter was guilty of "knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform." The lawsuit alleged defamation, conspiracy and negligence, as well as violations of the state's prohibition against "insulting words" -- effectively fighting words that tend towards "violence and breach of the peace." The complaint sought not only damages, but also an injunction compelling Twitter to turn over the identities behind numerous accounts he said harassed and defamed him.
