News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.

Andrew Bolt's Blog, 14/6/18; Why should we trust Trump given the evidence of his record?
The Iran deal in particular was closely negotiated over the course of years. Iran gave up 90% of its nuclear enrichment program in return for an end to economic sanctions. While the other member states of the UN Security Council did lift UNSC sanctions, the Republican-controlled Congress not only did not lift unilateral US sanctions but actually slapped more on.
Or take Canada. As I wrote on Friday:
Trump also repeatedly insists that the US runs a large trade deficit with Canada, importing more goods from that country than it sells to its northern neighbor. Those in the US who make that argument are typically counting third party goods imported into the US through Canada, which Ottawa considers an unfair accounting.

Israel is certainly nuclear equipped. It's human rights record has been abominable and it has without question supported al Qaeda based and affiliated terrorist groups. Donald Trump has never once questioned his involvement or support of this increasingly oppressive Nation. His acceptance of Nth Korea seems not to be based on any moral grounds but simply pragmatic ones given his hostility to Iran that has denuclerized and hasn't currently the human rights record that Israel and Nth Korea have.The article asks why Nth Korea should trust Trump when the question might well be asked why should anybody trust Trump given his contradictory record. Even Vice President Pence seems to have significant opposite opinions as to what occurred in Singapore and it's consequences for the region in terms of what will occur. According to Pence, the War games are still on. The confusion continues. (ODT)
SINGAPORE—Saying the agreement represents a major high point in American international relations, President Trump concluded his summit with Kim Jong-un Monday by securing a $10 billion trade deal to sell both strategic and tactical nuclear warheads directly to North Korea. “There was some negotiating involved in getting [Jong-un] to buy as many nukes as we wanted to…
