Marc - Cornel West is not a 'foreign correspondent'. He's a well known opponent of Obama's tenure as President - so his opinion piece was not written by an unbiased reporter just reporting the facts. It doesn't surprise me though that you would read that and think "wow that was so unbiased and true". But you are right about our media going off the rails - there's just too much literal shit flowing from the PEOTUS to keep up - coupled with his officially installed propaganda arm - for an average American not glued to the news 24/7 to keep up.

And you speak of 'best allies' - is Russia one of them? Does it not bother you (or make you at least give pause) that Russia and Russian interests have been playing such a huge role in Trump's rise and now future plans for our country?

Also - be mindful that not everyone in the UK voted Brexit.
