The way Murdoch's companies Fox News and Sky News have been pushing pro-Russia content, you have to wonder why?

Reports of the pair have been floating around for years, ever since their respective divorces in 2014 and 2013. One insider close to the powerful leader tells Us Weekly the relationship is serious.
The controversial Russian president, 63, was previously married to Lyudmila Putina for 30 years, with whom he shares daughters Maria, 30, and Yekaterina, 29. The Kremlin confirmed their divorce in April 2014. The politician rarely discusses his children, but during an annual news conference in December 2015, he boasted about his daughters to thousands of reporters, before shutting down more personal questions.
They studied only at Russian universities. I am proud of them. They continue to study and work. My daughters speak three European languages fluently. One of them can even speak one or two Oriental languages. They are making their first steps and are successful, he told the crowd during the rare moment, before stating: I never discuss questions related to my family. They are not involved in business or politics. They are not pushing for this.

(3,549 posts)EXCLUSIVE: Inside the luxury life of Putin's secret girlfriend as Ukraine goes through hell
Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38, reportedly travelled to a 'very private and very secure' chalet near Lugano in Switzerland with her young children while Russia invaded Ukraine

In spotlessly-clean streets that weave between Cartier, Gucci and Louis Vuitton stores, mega-rich Russians stroll with their pampered pooches.
Far from the murderous cruelty destroying Ukrainian cities, the opulent Swiss lakeside idyll of Lugano is rumoured to be where Vladimir Putin s lover has been holed up since her partner started his devastating invasion.
Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva - once described as Russia s most flexible woman - reportedly travelled to a very private and very secure chalet near here with the couples young children as the tanks rolled in.
Widely believed to be the mother of Putins two sons and a daughter - or possibly two daughters - Kabaeva, 38, lives in a luxurious bubble, shielded from the horrors her 69-year-old partner is inflicting on innocent children.

(17,390 posts)It is one thing for right wing media to attack Democrats, but Republicans use to be proudly highlight how they would stand up to Russia. Yet, you have key right wing figures developing a symbiotic relationship with Russia where they are in lockstep with Russia propaganda.

Geopolitical tensions have also spilled into American political tensions, as the top-rated Fox News host has openly questioned why supporting Ukraine should be a higher priority for the U.S. than supporting Russia.
CNNs New Day producers played a clip of Tucker Carlson arguing for Russia that ended with him saying Why is it disloyal to side with Russia but loyal to side with Ukraine? Theyre both foreign countries that dont care anything about the United States. Kind of strange.
Easy answer there, one is a democracy, the other is a brutal autocracy, Keilar replied. The real question is why is Rupert Murdoch allowing this anti-democratic BS on the air?

Noticed something had not noticed the dress worn by Ivanka.
In 1981, the exe and I spent several weeks in then Yugoslavia visiting another couple we knew from university (Cal) living in Belgrade. We made a road trip that included Dubrovnik and exe bought a bunch of silver filigree jewelry and a white crocheted dress (long not short like Ivanka's) from street merchants within the by foot only old city section of Dubrovnik.

Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife Wendi Deng, 52, shops for luxury goods with hunky mystery companion as they continue to soak up the sunshine in St Barts

bottom line, she is not dating Putin, and if she ever did it (there is no concrete proof and she has strenuously denied it, unlike the Tony Blair rumours, which she simply says she refuses to talk about) was at least 6, 7 (or longer) years ago
