From ‘Fact Check’ to Failure: Why Government Attempts to Control the ‘Truth’ Backfire—Lessons from Ridgewood to 9/11

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

RIDGEWOOD, NJ – The best of intentions can sometimes lead to the most challenging outcomes when it comes to government communication. Ridgewood Village Manager Keith Kazmark’s initiative, “The Manager’s Fact Check Friday,” which launched with the stated goal of providing “good, accurate information—right from the source,” appears to have quietly been discontinued.

The initial rollout was framed as a necessary response to a “world where we question the accuracy and truthfulness of all types of information.” However, the cessation of the program raises a critical question: Does any governmental entity claiming the sole authority to “fact check” or define “truth” inevitably undermine the public trust it aims to build?

The Great Unfollow: Global Study Suggests We’ve Hit ‘Peak Social Media’—Why Gen Z Is Logging Off

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ – After two decades of explosive growth, is the social media boom finally slowing down? A new global study suggests that the answer is yes, particularly when looking at how much time users are spending on major platforms.

A massive survey of 250,000 people for the Financial Times found that global social media use declined in 2023 and 2024. While the overall user base continues to grow, the crucial metric of engagement—the time people spend scrolling—has likely peaked, offering a glimmer of hope to experts concerned about the negative effects of social media addiction on youth development.

New Economic Report Rings Alarm Bells: The “Stalinist” Edicts of 2020-21 Dealt a Blow to Human Liberty That Persists Today.

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, For decades, the global trend toward economic and personal liberty appeared to be an unstoppable force, lifting billions out of poverty and driving innovation. However, according to the latest data, that long march of freedom suffered a devastating reversal.

The newest edition of the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of the World Report, which includes data through 2023, paints a concerning picture: the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic—characterized by what many critics termed “Stalinist global lockdowns”—inflicted a massive blow to human liberty. Even years later, the freedom movement has not recovered from those sweeping mandates and government controls.
