Speaking of media. I find it disgusting that so called newspapers actively tried to influence voters. Just inform people of their options and make sure they know what the consequences of their vote will be, whichever way they may vote. Just report the damn news instead of telling them which way to vote. British media, just like American ones are incredibly biased, which basically makes them nothing more than tabloids. If you want to be truly terrified about the influence of the media on elections, this might interest you. csef.ru/en/nauka-i-obshchestvo/499/rassledovanie-das-magazin-kak-big-data-i-para-uchenyh-obespechili-pobedu-trampu-i-brexit-7288 |

Agree, that's an oddly terrifying article, with a nice sinister flavour added by the translation via Russian.
Makes we quite happy that I deleted my Facebook account years ago, but doubly concerned about adds all over Google which have long ago become creepy and might become even more so by the sound of this trend.

So everyone is doing these videos now, but a city in Belgium has made one too and I think it's pretty good. "We have golden showers and great bitch... uh beaches. Pure white beaches. Just the way you love em"

Things are not going particularly well for Mr Trump: his healthcare bill has been withdrawn because it looked like it wouldn't get through Congress.

Just had a push notification from BBC to say that the Healthcare Bill has now collapsed.
Trump can now concentrate on draining the swamp. Now the next president Michelle can improve on Obamacare.

Knowing everything we know, I find it very credible. Americans have elected a known liar and conman who thinks morality is for the little people and who has quite possibly been involved in treasonous activity. So where are his cheerleaders now? Any pangs of conscience yet? |

The first five words of the second paragraph are excellent advice for dealing with Mr Trump. |
