I might see if RT (Russia Today) is doing election coverage, Russian state owned media may be less biased

Dear Abby
My husband hasn't worked for the last 15 years. All he does is get dressed in the morning and hop in his fancy car to visit his cronies I know he`s cheated on me many times with young girls who could be his granddaughters. I know because he brags about this to me. He smokes fancy cigars and drinks the most expensive Champagne day and night. We sleep in separate beds because he`s always telling me he knows I`m a lesbian and my varicose veins and big bottom turn him off! Should I clobber him with my frying pan, or should I leave him, Abby? Your advice would be appreciated ..... Mad as Hell Dear Mad as Hell, You don`t have to take that kind of treatment from any man. I suggest you pack your bags and move out a.s.a.p. Don`t resort to clobbering him with the frying pan, and try to act like a lady! Remember ......you`re running for President of the United States, so try acting like it!

Fun fact: the electoral college does not have to vote the same as the popular vote.

Media corporations in Australia used to be required to report 75% fact 15% persuasive 10% other (lifestyle, comedy articles etc) The government passed rules subtly 9 years ago and the media no longer has to state facts legally. This is the reason we now see 80% persuasive media reporting in Australia. Last edited by fordomatic; 09-11-2016 at 01:11 PM. |

Trump says something and the media work to twist everything around with totally outrageous statements, that have noting to do with what he truly said at all and the media conduct a sound bites and work to base it off that, but if you bother to go look at the whole conversations that went down in detail, you can see the media have concocted his words and worked to set him up as a fool or a twit. Problem is most people don't have the integrity to look past the media spin and games they play and are only media educated dolts that can't see past there nose what creeps the media truly are. I believe Trump could fix the problems with the Mid east, because Obama has only worked to create most of the problems and that sticks out like dogs balls that they have created ISIS and are playing games with them all and on the other hand they want to pump all them radical nuts into the western world full on and nothing could be more moronic or down right stupid thing to do, I believe they are working to create anarchy down the track, so the Marxist can work so as to become dictators with more and more restrictive laws on laws until democracy is destroyed. |
