Sorry!! I thought it could also belong here

I'm a strong believer in non-profit news. I regularly donate money to The Guardian because it's a non-profit newspaper.

But not all for-profit news organizations are clickbait propaganda. It really depends on their business model and their owner.

The New Yorker depends on subscriptions. They employ some of the best writers in the english speaking world.

The Information depends on subscriptions. It's expensive but they have the best coverage of Silicon Valley and the Tech Industry.

Rupert Murdoch owns the New York Post, Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

In Britain, he owns The Sun. In Australia, he owns 90% of newspapers and Sky News Australia.

He has been publically accused by world leaders of attempting to blackmail them:

Murdoch is a real bastard. He uses his papers to push his own political views.

Donald Trump praises him.

“Rupert Murdoch is in a class by himself, he’s an amazing guy,” President Trump said of the conservative media magnate, who sat smiling in the Oval Office this week as the newly elected president sang his praises.

Without identifying anyone by name, Roberts clearly referenced Republican President Donald Trump and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York when he said he has felt compelled to issue public rebukes of figures in both parties in recent years.

This is just absurd.

Senator Schumer criticized the Supreme Court after ProPublica investigations showed they took secret luxury trips with Billionaires:

Some Billionaires even bought property for Clarence Thomas:

Trump repeatedly attacked a U.S Federal Judge, calling him a Mexican:

Last march, after a Judge ruled against him, President Trump called him a crook who should be impeached:

Trump and Schumer are not remotely comparable. .

C'est fixé.

As a non-Brit, I watch what's happening like it's a slow motion car wreck.

France has 2 round parliamentary elections.

• First round: You vote for someone to represent your constituency. Only 2 candidates remain.

• Second round: Two weeks later, it's the second round. You vote for one of the 2 candidates that won the first round. The winner becomes an MP.

Throughout France, Marine Lepen candidates won 35% to 40% of the votes in the first round. They qualified for the second round. Luckily, in the second round, citizens rallied against Lepen candidates, voting for whoever was their opponent.

What will happen if Nigel Farage gets 35% or 40% 😲? You don't have a second round...

If France used the FPTP voting system, Marine Lepen would be ruling the country with a huge majority in Parliament.

You got me.

I should have read the rules more carefully next time. I will delete it!!

Portland is facing a major housing crisis that was decades in the making.

Thanks to this recent reform, more people can now afford a roof over their head.

The woman in the video said she was very happy. She didn't complain about parking. Parking is a luxury when people want a roof over their head. Some of these comments are just insane.

Since when Iran has any terrorists in the united state and canada?

Are you serious...?

Canadian Intelligence foiled an Iranian attempt to assassinate a former minister:

According to a source, the RCMP on Oct. 26 informed Mr. Cotler, a former Liberal justice minister, that he faced imminent threat of assassination within 48 hours from Iranian agents.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told him that he was a high-profile target of Iran. The close protection provided to Mr. Cotler includes bulletproof vehicles, heavily armed officers and other security measures.

Adding parking was previously mandatory.

If you tried to build a Childcare Center or an Affordable Housing building without parking, the city of Lynnwood refused to deliver the building permit.
