Every year, alongside many others, we observe April 15 as Steal Something from Work Day—an opportunity to reflect on the causes and implications of workplace theft.

This year, we turn our focus to so-called “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others. Loss prevention professionals allege that Robin Hood employees inflict losses on corporations much more efficiently than ordinary shoplifters or employees who only steal for their own benefit.

In other words, when it comes to redistributing wealth, the most effective approach is not to take things for yourself, but to share them with everyone.

The article describes how Central ND News, a fake local newspaper, was used as a propaganda tool by the oil company Energy Transfer during its legal battle with Greenpeace over the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Though disguised as a regular newspaper, the publication focused on discrediting protesters and praising the pipeline company, promoting old stories as if they were current news. Greenpeace argued in court that this was a calculated attempt to sway jurors, but the trial proceeded—and ended with a North Dakota jury awarding Energy Transfer over $660 million in damages from Greenpeace.

This case is framed as part of a broader trend of “pink slime journalism”—a term coined to describe partisan outlets that masquerade as legitimate local news. These outlets, often backed by right-wing donors or corporations, publish algorithm-generated or biased content in favor of their sponsors. The company behind Central ND News, Metric Media, is tied to a history of misleading media operations. This kind of pseudo-journalism is now more widespread than actual local newspapers in the U.S., posing a growing threat to journalism, democratic discourse, and free speech.

The piece also notes that Democrats have their own version—Courier Newsroom—though the main focus is on right-wing abuses and their implications for activism, protest rights, and public trust in media
