Fox fake news
Why has Fox news settled out of court to the tune of $750 million and change. Looks as if they have done the Biden admistration a favour for the next Presidential elections. That settelment and admission they were broadcasting fake news has certainly made Trump look a right tool him claiming the election was stolen from him.
Thing is are there more revelations to come. The News of the World newspaper in the UK owned by Murdoch was caught up in the phone hacking Scandel
https://www.britannica.com/biography...reorganization
Why is this man still allowed to own media companies. They have been caught time and time again of airing fake news in many countries around the world.
Then this clown pipes up with his words of wisdom

Trump it would appear is deranged and a very dangerous indivual. Man should be in a mental institution.

Re: Fox fake news
Speak careful of Trump, he did more for USA than many realize.
As to the other guy, he has made money giving the people exactly what they want, scandal, News of the World comes to mind, and stories which though not fully correct sold copy.
The people love it all and regularly come back for more.
He provides a service just like a few others of his kind do.

Re: Fox fake news
Trump cozied up too much to Putin for my liking , always said he had something on Trump, maybe supplied him with young ladies and Putin had the evidence, one of the old tricks, who knows, certainly one of Trumps many faults, the ladies. Look where its got him at the moment.Also the latest Murdoch scandal will not have helped him.

Re: Fox fake news
As you say Putin may have the dirt on him. Maybe Trumps daughter Ivanka is a KGB/FSB plant. She has been right at the heart of the Whitehouse politics
She is the daughter of Ivana Trump (Zelnickova)Czech national, Ivana got US citizenship in 1988, 3 years before the end of the Cold War.
Putin was in the KGB from 1975. Yes, Putin was in the KGB in 1988. He joined the KGB in 1975 and initially worked in counterintelligence, before being transferred to monitor foreigners.
Czechoslovakia was under Soviet domination from 1948 to 1989.
Pure speculation but this kind of thing has been done before. Kim Philby and the ring of 5 Cambridge spies. Anthony Blunt was the Queens curator of art and later identified as a soviet spy in 1979.
This information was known to the Palace for 15 years but mum's the word

Re: Fox fake news
The Mueller report does show one astonishing undisputed fact. Trump's entourage had 272 active Russian connections in the run up to his election as El Presidente of the largest banana republic on earth. No other foreign country is known to have had such extensive links to either Trump or Clinton or indeed any other known presidential candidate in the history of the USA. It is reminiscent of Bantam Britain's Tory Party's ongoing and historic links with Russia. So, when was Trump first “influenced” by the KGB? Rest assured it was not recently.
To find out more, read the fact based article entitled Britain's Dismal Dossier On Russian Political Infiltration by ex-spook Bill Fairclough (author of The Burlington Files). It's available from TheBurlingtonFiles website in a news article dated July 21, 2021, since updated. Alternatively just ask the UK's recent "Justice" Secretary Brandon Lewis, aptly codenamed the Baron Swindler (an anagram courtesy of Private Eye) or did Private Eye simply publish his latest FSB nom de plume? Meanwhile do see if you know any of the 60 and counting Tory Party devotees listed as having Russian links in that fact based article.

Re: Fox fake news
According to our news here it is getting a bit dirty.
Wants to pull all the mercenary troops out and demands to speak with Putin.
Something about Russians being killed when they should not even be there.
Who knows what is really going on!!!!

Re: Fox fake news
As said in the early few months of this facade the result has two ways to go , either complete world devastation or for the people of Russia to take matters into their own hands and that would be the complete removal of all Russian Army senior generals and staff. This would be the only way of preventing the present charade that the world is looking at today. The dictator of any country cannot rule that country without his generals and without the will of his people , I would think by now Putin will realise the position he is in . Putin is not the only one at fault , his generals stand to lose the same as Putin and if either fall , Russia can stand aside of what has been done in their name . The old army generals as the same in any country give advice and recommendations to their head of state , and they too will know their position in life and be extremely worried on their own futures . JS....

Re: Fox fake news
Dont normally post on these kind of things , but just reading our News Today, and see that there is talk of a Double being used as Putin in a few instances! I myself dont believe this at all, as looking at Putin, could there be another like him!?? LOL
Also there are rumours that he has only now only days to live , not Weeks or Monts mind you!?
Again looking at Photos of him and Videos , he looks in fairly good nick at this stage ? What are you thoughts !
Cheers

Re: Fox fake news
Most of what you and the world sees are library pictures of Putin. Anything today can be put on a screen as being so called genuine. The media and others are expert at this and getting better all the time . So called photographic evidence today is not what it used to be. JS
