Biden signs $1.9T relief bill before speech to nation
The signing came hours before Biden delivers his first prime-time address since taking office. “This historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country,” Biden said as he signed the bill in the Oval Office. Biden originally planned to sign the bill on Friday, but it arrived at the White House more quickly than anticipated. And the nation was on pace to administer its 100 millionth dose of vaccine as soon as Thursday. The fragmented media landscape makes it more difficult for Biden to reach people, Zelizer said, but that may be beside the point.

A photo published by a Texas newspaper was called ‘fake.' The paper’s editor clapped back showing it was indeed real.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx – The editor of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times clapped back at readers for calling a photo taken by one of her photographers “fake," when it later turned out to be something real.

Corpus Christi Caller-Times, owned by USA Today, has an ethics policy which Cavazos briefly stated: “We don’t break the law to get information.
