The usual dry cynicism from Carlson for those who just can't get enough of the usual dry cynicism from Carlson :) ** The Lies About Russia Are a Great Big Gift for Fox's Tucker Carlson (Video) http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413cb3652f&id=a9714afe8f&e=5110f4b440 ------------------------------------------------------------ by Oscar Platt on Wed, May 24, 2017 Much of the alternative media is in chicken-little mode, moaning and groaning about the special counsel development - with ominous talk of a 'soft-coup' underway, worries of impeachment, etc. Funny, you wouldn't get that impression watching Fox's most important news slot, Tucker Carlson's 8pm news and political analysis show. It has almost become a daily ritual, where he laughs at and ridicules the baloney coming from the 'Russiagate' conspiracy theory. Carlson's is the biggest and most influential news show in America. His colleague Sean Hannity, who comes on at 10, is the second, and Hannity is no less scathing about the Russiagate story. And from the stating the obvious for those of us (like inglorious me) who missed it: ** NATO Annexes Montenegro to Paper Over the Disaster West's Balkan Colonialism Has Been http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413cb3652f&id=fc17d23260&e=5110f4b440 ------------------------------------------------------------ by Marko Marjanović on Wed, May 24, 2017 As NATO prepares to devour Montenegro, most commentators in the mainstream and alternative media claim that Russia now has egg on its face. The former are giddy about it, while the latter are worried, but both agree this has something to do with Russia. They could not be more wrong. Supposedly Montenegro joining NATO will pain Russia because it is a country which has been traditionally in the Russian sphere of influence. Nothing could be further from the truth. Montenegro has never been in the Russian sphere of influence. And finally an update on one of our latest, most favouritist, hissing weasels: ** Mounting Evidence Suggests Nikki Haley Has Absolutely No Idea What She's Doing http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413cb3652f&id=f3be0f54c4&e=5110f4b440 ------------------------------------------------------------ by Riley Waggaman on Tue, May 23, 2017 Most Americans have rewarding careers sitting behind computer desks or McDonald's drive-thru windows—and usually these tenure-track professions end with an OxyContin overdose, a hernia, death, or all three at the exact same time. But not everyone is so fortunate. Some people have extremely tedious, soul-crushing jobs. Take, as a tragic example, Nikki Haley. As the US ambassador to the United Nations, Haley's only responsibility is to transmit State Department policy to her colleagues at the United Nations. Sometimes she's allowed to transmit State Department policy to a television news host. But that's it. A major, boring bummer.
