In Ep.114 of WG: Finland fighting "Fake News", the garbage heap that is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the music industry doing the bare minimum & a diary from one of the Chibok girls after being abducted by Boko Haram shows how the girls survived & persevered.
Show Notes
In a week where:
- Reggae & Dancehall legend U-Roy, dies aged 78.
- NASA's Perseverance rover successfully landed on the Martian surface.
- Government-backed forces allegedly killed hundreds in a massacre at Ethiopia's Church of St. Mary of Zion in November, according to witness accounts.
- Naomi Osaka beats Jennifer Brady to win the Australian Open.
- Daft Punk call it a career after 28 years.
In the first of two Life segments: (6:55) Finland has a secret weapon in the battle against misinformation, and la di da, it has something to do with education.
In Film/TV: (24:08) The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has been a staple in Awards SZN for decades with their Golden Globes, but a recent report shows truly how garbage the HFPA really are.
In Music: (45:54) The US Music machine continues to do the bare minimum after Country Music's rising star Morgan Wallen goes No.1 for several weeks despite saying 'The N' on camera and getting shut down in nearly every way. (Article is via PDF on pages 1, 3 & 4)
Lastly, in the 2nd Life segment: (1:02:27) A book is coming out, documenting what the Chibok girls that were abducted by Boko Haram went through. The majority of it comes from a diary smuggled by one of the girls that consistently refused Boko Haram's orders.
