ok kiddies it's alright to lie. Next thing we'll hear is that the Catholic Church will no longer hold you to having to confess your lies.

They'll just fight the Party and Fox News when they do that.

Better just let people figure it out for themselves.

As they used to say in the Soviet Union, "Pravda isn't the truth and Izvestia isn't the news."

was implicated when 13 year old girl was murdered and what his newspaper did:

And so now you go the MTP to basically say that your boss's newspaper is not going to be a newspaper, but another tabloid and not report BS lies coming out of the mouth of a sexual serial predator, that has megalomaniac, narcissistic, authoritarian corrupt tendencies to commit fraud, and run scams to stiff people and who LIES when ever he speaks, and is trying his damnedest to discredit the media and the intelligence community just like some fucking dictator to dismantle this republic with the help from is Breitbart advisers and foreign handlers.

The reader Baker is wanting to make sure that your newspaper and others are reporting the facts and doing its job description and being "Independent" , and if you can't do that, then maybe your right wing fascist newspaper should go out of business, just like the other Murdoch operations.

I and millions of others don't like having someone who has the means and the ability to set off nuclear bombs because he sits on a toilet and tweets about is immaturity of looking for recognition that his father never gave to him, at my and millions of others expense.

What's the point of a newspaper if they don't cull the liars from the truth tellers? Seriously, what's the goddamn point? That fool just told us that he and his news rag are not credible. In addition, Chuck Todd is such a tool - I can't bear to watch him.
