The head of an Ally to the United States and many of that country's elite leaders are dead.
Why is Foxnews not having special coverage?
To me... you cancel this prerecorded business block and bring in some heavy hitters like Bill Hemmer or Megyn Kelly.
And second of all it took Fox forever to even come on and report this.
What is going on? They are providing almost NO coverage.
Interesting.. scary but interesting!
I’m just curious if somebody at Fox has not been notified?
Is someone asleep at the wheel and the weekend crew is just winging this.
So you’re saying they should come on live, and tell you what you already know, over and over and over?
The circumstances make me less likely to believe this was an assassination by Putin.
If he wanted to get rid of the President of Poland, he couldn't possibly have chosen a messier way to do it. Every bit of evidence is going to pored over for years, making it pretty likely that the evidence would lead back to the perpetrators, if there are any.
The symbolism of the situation would be disastrous, if you just wanted to quietly be rid of the guy. And I definitely can't think of any reason he'd want to take him out with a big disastrous show like this. You can't really send a big message if you don't take credit.
There would have been a few thousand sneakier ways to take him out. A maid with a cyanide pill for example. Or an exploding car. Or a sniper.
The plane was a 26 year old Tupolev. I don't know their record on bad-weather landings.
I know. Never watch it. It’s a whole different world from the weekday line up.
Saul Alinskyian FOX won’t work.
No I’m not saying that.
I’m saying they should come on.. AT ALL.
Meaning.. just talked to a relative of mine.. and they had no idea this had even happened because the coverage has been SO lacking.
Putin doesn’t care about messy.
He’s got BO in the White House.. and he himself Putin is heading the investigation.
Actually, upthread folks listed many people who could shed light on the geopolitical impacts of this via interviews. So, that would be one avenue for coverage. I’m sure they have sister networks overseas they could hook up with for more coverage opportunities.
I am doing a write up on the people and their roles in Poland over the last 30 years but, think about it.
Does a Pilot, carrying his President and several other high ranking members of the government just decide to land in opposition to ground control?
The pilot is not just responsible for the 95 souls on the plane but his own.
Why would he arrogantly ignore demands for diversion to Moscow or other airports?
He wouldn’t, as he relies on ground control for a safe landing.
Everyone on the plane was to attend a memorial for the 20,000 Polish people killed by Soviet Police. This event was scheduled to be held in Katyn, Russia. Very embarrassing for the Russians I’m sure.
Additionaly, many of the government members were at the highest level in the government and were instrumental in the Solidarity movement, which ultimately resulted in Russia leaving their pilot state.
In 2008 Poland had agreed to place the beginnings of a missile defense shield, as they watched the horror of Russia’s actions in Georgia another former Soviet Pilot State.
Besides, how is the news is accepting this explanation so quickly with no investigation?
Had the Polish President been named Michael Jackson or Anna Nicole Smith, he may have received full day coverage.
Foreign news coverage as a whole in the USA by the MSM is not even minimal at best.
“Besides, how is the news is accepting this explanation so quickly with no investigation?”
I would think there are two choices. Lazy or complicit.
not sure who to send it to either
That is an interesting point.
Their foreign news coverage is severely lacking.
But they do have all kinds of reporters in foreign countries.
I’ll send it to Beck.
That will really get the newsies panties in a fit lol.
I don’t think lazy.
I mean if it’s something they really care about they’ll go all out.
So far, regarding the Putin assassination theory, we have no motive and no evidence. I'm willing to seriously entertain the theory, once one of those two show up.
When I get trough with my write up you will see who the people were on the plane and their roles over the years.
Suffice their visit to a city in Russia to commemorate the deaths of Polish elite and intellectuals combined with the very people who overthrew the Soviets, forcing them to leave Poland, Would still be a huge embarrassment.
The pilot would not put the lives of his passengers and himself at risk in defiance of ground control.
So what do you think happened?
I put nothing past Putin.
