Yes, I understood that. My question is why you call it that. It is a Trump alternate facts paper.
Are you not a Trumpist?

It is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Neither of NY Post or NY daily news are anything more than yellow journalism.

A two million dollar tank and killer PR. I’m going to guess that the Russian’s quality of living will increase, so it works out for everyone involved.
