As I noted Sunday, we were actually infested by one troll with six Disqus accounts. And one other conspiracy fan who left a single comment.

The Harmsworth brothers started the Daily Mail in 1896. The younger brother, Harold, became a friend and admirer of Mussolini and Hitler. He frequently supported them in editorials, including supporting British appeasement of Nazi Germany and encouraging Germany's invasions of various lands throughout the 1930s. He's even thought to have personally paid one of Germany's spies on British soil until just before the war started, when he finally cut her off.

His great-grandson, Viscount Rothermere, runs the trust that runs the paper now. He's a hard core conservative and supported Cameron. Given his family's history, selling out to Putin isn't a stretch.

Very much Manchester, and fixed. Just another instance of my geographic dyslexia. Now watch as I confuse Kentucky and Tennessee again.

“I mean, have you seen some of the stuff we put on air?” the reporter continued.

That was Shep Smith wasn't it? I feel like guy's going to crack any day now.

Ah yes, Geraldo Rivera. For the life of me I will never figure out why the makers of The US vs John Lennon (about the Nixon administration's efforts to keep John & Yoko out of the country) interviewed Rivera, even if he did have good input.

Am I the only one who thinks that Yawn Vanity looks like Nathan Lane's evil twin?

Not to mention that the Russians have attempted to meddle with elections in other countries, so maybe there's some sort of pattern here.

I think that's already starting in sinkhole form at maralago.

Seemed to be the common thread in the recent congressional hearings that the intel experts were warning against Russia interfering, meddling, etc in our elections. This is exactly the kind of conspiracy people should be worried about but they're too busy thinking the world is flat and the govt is trying to mind-control us with vaccines. 🙄

Still bawling for ratings after all these years.

This is your brain. This is your brain on fox news.

Yes- agreed. That would be much better.

I feel nothing but disdain for the allegedly "embarrassed" FOX reporters. The discovery of a line they won't cross this deep in their swamp is meaningless to me.

Radio Sean is so much tougher [and higher pitched?] than TV Sean.

Might be we could drum up some business for my dick specialist, as well.
