TED: Ursprunget till massor av konspirationsteorier
Why can we find geometric shapes in the night sky? How can we know that at least two people in London have exactly the same number of hairs on their head?

Texts between Hannity, Manafort unsealed by court
Private text messages between Fox News host Sean Hannity and former chairman of the Trump 2016 campaign Paul Manafort have been unsealed by a federal court and were posted online Friday. The 55 pages of texts show the two discussing the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, with Hannity offering guidance and support.
”If you just ever want to talk, grab dinner, vent, strategize — whatever, I am here,” he texted on Aug. 9, 2017.
”Mueller is trying to intimidate me. The raid is just one example. I won’t let him succeed but it is very lonely fighting this fight … Except for you and a few others, our side is not engaged,” Manafort sent on Aug. 10, 2017. ”Thank you for your help.”
”Call me, text me, email me. Let’s eat talk and anything I can do to help,” Hannity responded on Aug. 11, 2017.
Manafort is now in prison, and Mueller’s report was published earlier this year.

The firm, DarkMatter, brought ex-National Security Agency hackers and other U.S. intelligence and military veterans together with Emirati analysts to compromise the computers of political dissidents at home and abroad, including American citizens, Reuters revealed in January. The news agency also reported that the FBI is investigating DarkMatter’s use of American hacking expertise and the possibility that it was wielded against Americans.

A reporter for more than 30 years, Ramos believes that a journalist’s responsibility is to question and challenge those in power. In this compelling talk — whoch earned him a standing ovation midway through — Ramos explains why, in certain circumstances, he believes journalists must take sides.
