Recommended viewing for all.
Details the oppression of Free Press. Goes back to the lawsuit that put Gawker out of business. Includes the purchase of Las Vegas Review by Billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adleson. And more including Trump's efforts at silencing press.

Frightening in some ways, but overall it demonstrates the threat to freedom of the press.

SA said NO to US Military Base
Qatar said Yes so we built a huge one and launch drones there

SA terrorists attacked USA but not on MrT's travel ban?

But SA is our BF in the Middle East?

This is a disconcerting mess!
