The philosophy of Effective Altrusim took a hit due to its close association with Samuel Bankman-Fried. New Yorker staff writer Gideon Lewis-Kraus profiled one of the movement's leaders, Will MacAskill, and followed up in a piece titled "Sam Bankman-Fried, Effective Altruism, and the Question of Complicity." Plus, the East Palestine Crash is a headache, but maybe not much more. And … a new survey shows the U.S. is in last place in the Trust-The-Media rankings.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
