Another example, people hiding behind free press in disguise as journalists other than msm employees. Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage, Katie Hopkins.... we want these people held accountable for being devisive but not msm?
I suppose it comes down to how much of what msm say is spin and how much is blatant deceit. For me again its down to the individual to do their homework and separate the two but some outlets are more guilty than others.

For me looking at it from my own perspective I think individuals within msm or media should be held responsible but fundamentaly I understand that is flawed & ultimately is does come down to us as individuals. I believe there should be some accountability but my wires cross on how.

In the UK you have Ofcom so there should be some accountability but in the States there doesn't seem to be anyone keeping the media honest.

I've been watching Designated Survivor on Netflix, great series & even though it's just a fictional series it sort of shows how the establishment and msm in DC operates. Good watch imo if you have some free time.

I saw it when I was about 12, was good fun but wouldnt call it scary.

By 12 though I was already a veteran of The Omen, The Exorcist and Poltergeist! :)

I remember watching the Exorcist & Driller Killer as a teenager... the narrative back then got me feeling scared before watching them. The story went something like people had committed suicide after watching them, it filled me with fear over the possibility but actually the movies weren't that scary. Funny how we can be fearful of tales, I dont know to this day if it was true or not.

The Omen scared the crap outta me, even years afterwards when I watched it. One of the very few movies that had me looking over my shoulder in the dark :lol:

Most disturbing things I've watched were The Stone Tape (a tv programme from the 70's) and Eraserhead.
On the election, I notice that the bbc have shifted from any chance of Trump winning any challenge to discussing Biden's 'healing' approach and the law suits (potentially) awaiting Trump when he becomes an ordinary citizen (albeit with lifetime security service cover).

Nate incredulous at betting markets.

https://mobile.twitter.com/natesilver538

Tweet reads “ Political betting markets still give Trump a >10% chance, both nationally and in several states where *results have been certified*. As I've said before, it's a bit alarming there are so many delusional people out there that the market equilibrium is this detached from reality.”

There must be a few arbs out there if Nate is seeing trump at 10 and below (although if nates with the bookies I guess Biden might not be wound out enough).

One film I only watched once because of its "horror" content, despite a good cast;

Dustin Hoffman
Laurence Olivier
Roy Scheider
William Devane


The Marathon Man.... :( :o :shock:

trump will win the court case

voter fraud is reality, the media wants Biden to win, but this guy cannot win any election.


fox news has become a globalist tool case,


I will speak for the teaparty we are onfident. Pennyslavania hearing were explosive, I cannot see how the supreme ourt can uphold these elections.


Trump won on tuesday and while america slept the democrats were busy rigging elections.


are giys buying the hype? the globalists hate trump, they thought they could contain and neutralise him.
he has already won the court of public Opinion ....i have evidence :D
DT can kneel on the` neck` of democracy while he shoots `peaceful` dmostrators on fifth avenue and get away with it!
throwing curve balls while grabbing MacEnany by the kitty , just to deflect your attention from what he is actualy doing. i.e pardoning Michael flyn while the case is till on going....how is rodger stone not in prison?

the Sydney Powell Dominion conspiracy is just one more deflection .she was pulled out of the trump team after casting the net too wide and ended up cattching some of trump`s Minions. her case would need the FBI,CIA,Congress,Senate ,president and both republicans and the democrats to collude and subvert the will of the people.
:lol: :lol:
if the supreme court were to finds the election to be not free and fair , they will declare it null and void and call for a repeat election so backle up! more cheering needed.
