The news coverage, and even coverage on social media, makes me sick. Normally I read news from everywhere, left wing, right wing, independent, and take a bit from everything and get a pretty good idea of what's going on. But with him I don't feel like I can truely believe anything that's being written. Rupert wonders why people aren't reading his papers or visiting his websites anymore, maybe he should pull his reporters and editors into line.

What ever you think about him, he won their election under their electoral system fair and square. Plenty of govertnments have been elected despite losing the popular vote, that's how our systems work. Get over it and just report what's happening.
Perhaps if he stopped frigging tweeting every time he thinks someone has slighted him and actually did SOMETHING that might make his detractors in his own country step back he would have a chance to get momentum. At the moment he is just feeding the hyenas and with that agenda he is just treading water himself.
Personally I hope he does settle, I for one are sick of hearing him and his bloody bull .
Fake news or not, he is full of cow dung, and the sooner things settle the less we have to worry about seeing him pop up all smarmty polluting the airwaves with crap that only appeals to easily influenced people that in reality he would not have polish his shoes.

Unless this is a very complicated KGB plant, it looks as though last night’s Stockholm Riots in the Islamic enclave of Rinkeby are a real thing. Although the matter seems to have escaped the entire western MSM (other than Sweden’s Expressen), the Daily Telegraph reports:


http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/...-Sweden-crisis

But hey the media has been running around saying DT is full of it eveerything is great in Sweden.

Censorship and fake news, what a combination.

This has been going on for months in Sweden, the rape capital of Europe !

I would not go back to europe ( or the USA ) with the sorry state of affairs in these places.

What makes you think those cities are dangerous as a result if terrorism? And immigration? Stories, rumor experience?
Got to tell you, as a Londoner I feel as safe here as anywhere in oz, and I live 250 meters away from lee rigbies attack site. And I spend 20 percent of my work month in the middle east surrounded by Muslims too. And feel as safe again there. Massive cities have problems, sometimes little cities have them too, and most people are just trying to get by.

Port Arthur anyone, you scared of Tasmania?

Bombs being detonated, Priests being decapitated, Journalists being slaughtered, night clubs turned into butcher shops, sporting events targeted, 500+ people being run over by trucks - I blame global warming.

JP, Bryant was a murderous individual but his motivations were not found in religious texts as opposed to most 'refugees' into Europe...

PS: put on a uniform and then tell us how safe you feel...

Journalists getting slashed was the best part of the night.

Most certainly not, although there was a liberal dash of tongue in cheek.

If you guys choose to live in fear that's totally up to you.
I'm just pointing out European holidays r great.

Britain just posted this travel warning on France.

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-ad...ance/terrorism

The US has a similar one !

France is still on a "High" Alert for terrorism.

Even Worse, if you are a victim of such an attack in Europe, it may not even be reported in Western media.

When will Donald blame the Muslims for the recent rise in hatred crimes against Jewish Americans.

It may come soon ?

And the UK has similar one for Australia.
There is a high threat from terrorism. On 26 November 2015, the Australian government changed its national terrorism threat advisory system. Australia’s current national terrorism threat level is ’probable’. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners. See Terrorism

Doesn't mean much in context does it.

No problem, a new executive order banning automation. All current automation will be dismantled and buried in the foundations for "the Wall'.

And smash all the spinning wheels for good measure.

Think of the jobs it will create!!

Once the infrastructure projects get up and running, that may help with 1000's of unskilled jobs.

We'll see.

That's a good article above - the rust belt promises are a ruse.

That's the problem no one is seeing, the rustbelt will grow (much like an AU). The "new economy" has no room for these people.
