Here you go, start the week with this New Open thread!
What event was Trump referring to when he mentioned Sweden? We don’t know [Trump has confirmed that he was referring to a report on Fox about the effects of migration on Swedish society…and note he never referred to ‘an attack’, terrorist or otherwise, in his speech…and yet all his critics say he did…just who is providing the fake news as well as burying their heads in the sand about migration?]. … Continue reading

Who is more self-important, full of bluster and bull, the BBC’s Jon Sopel or The Donald? Jon Sopel edges it I think. The BBC is very pleased with its boy after his rudeness to Trump at the impromptu press conference and has been replaying his ‘impartial, free and fair’ joust with the President throughout the day with glee.

Der Spiegel seems a bit behind the times as it suggests.. It’s High Time for a European Broadcasting Service Propaganda spreads faster on social media than serious information and we’ve just experienced what an election looks like in the post-factual world.

The BBC are up to their old tricks again, vilifying the ‘Israelis’ and blaming them for all the violence in the world. FOOC visited Lebanon where we are told everyone is getting along famously now, Muslim and Christian living in a wonderful multicultural utopia.
