46. If my memory serves me right

Sun Sep 4, 2016, 07:12 AM

Sep 2016

It was chuck schumer who slide the authorization into a must pass bill in the middle of the night right before the next mornings vote that gave Murdock the green light that allowed him to have a somewhat pseudo 'news' organization here in the good ol USA. Remember faux won a lawsuit in Florida that lets them pass off opinion as 'news' as well not too many years ago. Again if my memory serves me right

I'm not much good at the google or I'd include a link but I'm sure it can be found
