The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Investigating Online Shopping & How to Know Your Items are Legit

If you’re like me, you shop online a lot. But here’s the thing: there aren’t many rules that popular online marketplaces like Amazon must follow when it comes to the products they sell, so you may be taking more of a risk than you realize when you buy. 

Technology writer Stacey Higginbotham, who has been covering the tech world for 20 years, found this out first-hand when she took part in a Consumer Reports investigation into video doorbells sold on several major online marketplaces. We’ll talk about what they found, how these same risks exist across the online shopping space, and what you can look for to shop online in a more secure way.

Why does it feel like avian flu is always circling around? How did it land on cows? Are we on the cusp of another pandemic?

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - How Originalism Ate the Law: The Trick

Get your tickets for Amicus Live in Washington DC here.

In this, the first part of a special series on Amicus and at Slate.com, we are lifting the lid on an old-timey sounding method of constitutional interpretation that has unleashed a revolution in our courts, and an assault on our rights. But originalism’s origins are much more recent than you suppose, and its effects much more widespread than the constitutional earthquakes of overturning settled precedent like Roe v Wade or supercharging gun rights as in Heller and Bruen. Originalism’s aftershocks are being felt throughout the courts, the law, politics and our lives, and we haven’t talked about it enough. On this week’s show, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern explore the history of originalism. They talk to Professor Jack Balkin about its religious valence, and Saul Cornell about originalism’s first major constitutional triumph in Heller. And they’ll tell you how originalism’s first big public outing fell flat, thanks in part to Senator Ted Kennedy’s ability to envision the future, as well as the past.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Do one in five young Americans think the holocaust is a myth?

Polling by YouGov made headlines around the world when it suggested 20% of young adults in the US thought the holocaust was a myth.

But polling experts at the Pew Research Centre thought the result might not be accurate, due to problems with the kind of opt-in polling it was based on. They tried to replicate the finding, and did not get the same answer.

We speak to Andrew Mercer from the Pew Research Centre and YouGov chief scientist Douglas Rivers.
