Until relatively recently I was a day trader. Retired now and protecting my assets for that reason, but I am quite aware of the political leanings of IBT and FT (financial times) They are left wing publications.
You see what I mean?
The political back and forth in the US is absolutely tame in comparison with the Europeans. They play down and dirty hard ball over there and they use smear and leer tactics in the media to gain support or to deny others support in elections.
They will pickup on a quote or speech or picture and misrepresent it, take it out of context or out right lie to achieve political victory. We do this in the US as well, but as you might guess the Republicans get the brunt of it from the Left because they control the publications and are Marxist in their beliefs. It is the same all over the globe.
I find it odd that regarding the Ukraine situation, republicans and Conservatives are joining the American Marxists in criticizing, tar and feathering and demeaning the right wing politicians of the Ukraine. Essentially their counterparts in the European political spectrum.
Odd indeed.
Not the conservative views I have.
