"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

Net Neutrality rules had been repealed by Ajit Pai, a Donald Trump stooge hell-bent on rolling back the regulation. The 2018 reinstatement, however, saw Republicans actually vote against Pai with Democrats.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\r\n<div class=\"divider\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80px; background-color: #ccc;\"></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-- [if (mso)|(IE)]></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<![endif]-->\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"layout two-col fixed-width\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 600px; min-width: 320px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;\">\r\n<div class=\"layout__inner\" style=\"line-height: inherit; border-collapse: collapse; display: table; width: 100%; background-color: #ffffff;\"><!-- [if (mso)|(IE)]>\r\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\r\n<tr class=\"layout-fixed-width\" emb-background-style>\r\n<td valign=\"top\" class=\"w260\" style=\"width:300px;\" ><![endif]-->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #000; line-height: 21px; font-family: Georgia, serif; float: left; max-width: 320px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" lang=\"x-size-26\" style=\"margin-top: 10; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\"line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\" href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-bludhil-l-p/\">Trump calls migrants animals</a></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 18px !important; text-align: left; line-height: 26px !important;\">\r\n\r\nTaking a break from admitting to paying off Stormy Daniels, President Trump, leader of the free world, spend Wednesday telling California Republicans how migrants are 'animals'.
