I miss it, even though the TV was on, busily having an important telephone call.

All the news networks mirrors the two parties.
No independent thinkers

This is part of her report

Manafort and business partners, including Firtash, in 2008 negotiated an $895 million deal to buy the site of the Drake Hotel in Manhattan, which they hoped to redevelop as a luxury mall and spa called Bulgari Tower. Memos of meetings that Manafort and Firtash attended in Kiev are included in the lawsuit, though the deal eventually fell apart.


and here

You are so right. Media is driven by agenda - always has been.

NPR, PBS NewsHour and even (cough) VOA have become more "balanced" than say CNN (left), Fox (right) in the world of polarized media!

Propaganda, which for decades had "universal theme" - has given way to an eternal spin of two sides politically...

Side Note: I've started to use: realclearpolitics.com which aggregates political feeds from all angles.

You guys sound like if all the news people see a cow run across the street – that some should report that it was a sheep that ran across the street…………well don’t you have that now with FAUX (FOX) news?

News sources like CNN, MSNBC and NPR at least use facts to back up their reporting and do not use false or fake reporting..

That cannot be said about FOX--
MSNBC and FOX are biased but, FOX is just pure unadulterated BS..

Fox news for me is the worst. Can't watch it for more than 10 mins.

Extradition has been granted pending one final review..Lower court decision has been overturned.

Rachel's suspicion is that DOJ under Sessions may not press for extradition unlike the previous DOJ under Holder or Lynch..

Growing up as a youth, one of the older boys in the district had a short wave radio and would listened to Cuba radio, all these news network reminds me of that station.
All propaganda

This will be very interesting if this guy is actually extradited – but then we know who the new US attorney general is – worth watching--------plus the guy is out on $174 million dollar cash bail for 3 years now – with that kind of money - anything is possible

To paraphrase somebody - Human feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
They light up with their passion an exclusive world in which they recognize their climate.
