We're well beyond your cognitive capabilities in this discussion if you're suggesting that a comparison between powerful ex-directors of the US intelligence apparatus landing post-…

There is no defense of BTC inherent to my point, quite the contrary. BTC is largely irrelevant. What's relevant is that this leader in a South American country has thumbed his nose…

There are clear conflicts of interests between an independent press and the press being owned by large corporate entities. Aside from that, note the revolving door and cozy relatio…
