GOP former chairman on fake news, pissing off Fox FFS. It's not just Bannon

Presumably Whitey, Foxy Loxy , Chicken Licken , Stew etc now believe that Fox too is Faux

I trust no news source, neither left nor right because they have all proven themselves agenda driven knackers devoid of journalistic integrity.

The closest I can get to decency and fairness surprisingly is the Chinese news station and auntie beeb.

Al Jazeera is similar to been some obvious bias but pretty solid
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

I've only seen the channel once, and that was on the Sky package when I was home in Donegal six or seven years ago.

They had a detailed report of the mundane everyday problems facing Palestinians in the West Bank, laid out in a matter of fact way. Stuff you'd be strung up for showing on US television!

On my first visit to the stated in the late 80's I was amazed to discover that teachers,nurses, people in public service routinely had extra jobs to keep afloat and to have any extras and that was when they had their health insurance covered as part of the job.

One of the reasons why I never stayed

Health insurance costs have been far outstripping wage increases and overall inflation for years.

Great graphic

US Healthcare is 17.1% of GDP increasing at 4% a year in a low growth economy. It'll be 20% of GDP in a few years.
Between healthcare and prisons the US spends one quarter of its money.

It's such a mess
No wonder people in Arkansas are pissed off

Probably won't let you in though . . . even if you have a Visa!! Is it even worth the risk unless you have to?

Flew home 2 weeks ago, no problems.

That is a serious deal on flights though.
