YouTube continues to be a platform that allows misinformation videos to flourish, especially if those videos are in Spanish.

Media Matters, a progressive nonprofit watchdog group, released a report earlier this month pointing out that dozens of videos filled with election misinformation, with more than a million views total, are still on YouTube since being posted in 2020. This is the third report released by Media Matters in three months focusing on Spanish-language videos and channels making debunked claims but facing minimal repercussions from YouTube.

False claims in 40 Spanish-language videos across 25 YouTube channels reviewed by Media Matters included debunked conspiracy theories alleging massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election, voting machines programmed to change votes and voting by dead people. Claims made of mass voter fraud in that election have been shown to be false, and multiple legal suits that pushed the same claims have been thrown out of court for having no merit. Even members of former President Donald Trump’s administration said the election was the most secure in American history.

These videos are largely spreading the same right-wing narratives or topics that are being disseminated in English-language posts, says M. Estrada, a Spanish-language researcher for Media Matters who asked that we did not give a first name for security reasons.

Other topics these Spanish-language YouTubers spread misinformation about include COVID vaccines, transgender health issues and other conspiracy theories.

Social media platforms are breeding grounds for misinformation, including YouTube with its more than 2

Both 15-year fixed and 30-year fixed refinances saw their average rates increase. The average rates for 10-year fixed refinances went down.

Like mortgage rates, refinance rates fluctuate on a daily basis. With inflation at a 40-year high, the Federal Reserve has hiked the federal funds rate five times in 2022 to try to slow surging inflation. Though mortgage rates are not set by the central bank, its rate hikes increase the cost of borrowing money and eventually impact mortgage and refinance rates and the broader housing market. Whether refinance rates will continue to rise or fall will depend largely on how things play out with inflation. If inflation cools, rates will likely follow suit. But if inflation remains high, we could see refinance rates maintain their upward trajectory.

If rates for a refi are currently lower than your existing mortgage rate, you could save money by locking in a rate now. As always, consider your goals and circumstances, and compare rates and fees to find a mortgage lender who can meet your needs.

30-year fixed-rate refinance

The average 30-year fixed refinance rate right now is 6.95%, an increase of 12 basis points over this time last week. (A basis point is equivalent to 0.01%.) Refinancing to a 30-year fixed loan from a shorter loan term can lower your monthly payments. Because of this, a 30-year refinance can be a good idea if you’re having trouble making your monthly payments. Be aware, though, that interest rates will typically be higher compared

Episodes 10 of Andor brought the Star Wars series’ riveting prison arc to a close on DisneyPlus last Wednesday, revealing new depths to the Empire’s dark cruelty. It forced future rebel hero Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) to forge alliances and rally his fellow inmates to help with his risky escape plan.

Beyond those walls, the regime is also tightening its grip on the galaxy in an attempt to choke all hopes of rebellion. Ambitious Imperial Dedra Meero (Denise Gough) is happy to enforce its rules, but rebels like Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) and Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) are working to bring the Empire crashing down.

So there’s plenty of exciting intrigue and espionage happening, and that’s exactly what you’d expect from the creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy. He wrote the first four Bourne movies but is perhaps best known for writing and directing Michael Clayton. The intense 2007 legal thriller was nominated for seven Oscars, with Tilda Swinton taking home the award for best supporting actress.

He also co-authored Rogue One, the 2016 Star Wars spinoff that introduced the morally questionable Cassian to a galaxy far, far away. Andor, which is nearing the end of its 12-episode first season and will return for a second season leading directly into Rogue One, dives into his past and the
