Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, died suddenly Monday after falling ill in his office at the mission, Russian officials said.
Churkin, 64, was rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center in New York, where he died, Russia's deputy U.N. ambassador, Vladimir Safronkov, told The Associated Press. His cause of death wasn't immediately known.
Churkin had been Russia's envoy at the United Nations since 2006 and was considered Moscow's great champion at the U.N. He had a reputation for an acute wit and sharp repartee, especially with his American and Western counterparts.
Russia's foreign ministry called Churkin an "outstanding" diplomat and expressed condolences to his friends and family. His death, the day before his 65th birthday, stunned officials at the U.N.'s headquarters.
Without them, we wouldn't know about the devil child sex kidnapping ring in the pizza joint basement that Hilary Clinton organized. Or that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax.
A senior National Security Council adviser was reassigned to his old job at the National Defense University, a White House spokeswoman confirmed Sunday, after he criticized the Trump administration's Latin American policies.
Craig Deare was removed from his role as a senior adviser at the National Security Council's Western Hemisphere division Friday and "sent back to his original position," said Sarah Sanders, a White House spokeswoman. Deare had been assigned to the NSC by the Trump administration.
Shucks, poor Milo has been disinvited from CPAC after advocating for pedos. He has of course come out and blamed deceptive editing and a British sense of humour. Poor guy can't catch a break. First the left wants to punch Nazis and now they're silencing the advocates of pedophiles. Free speech is truly dead, welcome to fascist liberal America.

You can tell Don is getting less and less tolerant with the people on his shows panels that are spouting crap, in the past couple of weeks. He's asking them for proof and I even seen him cut one guy off mid sentence, as in cut off his feed.
I've always liked Don, but I like the new and pissed off at people who support Trumps war on the media, Don,,even better.
Paris and Andre may even love Trump more than Sean Hannity.
Edit, actually I wrote that before watching the clip, but that's exactly what I was referring to. I saw that live on Friday or so.

Fake news is a bit of a trendy word, but the media does do a great job of communicating the facts and opinions they choose to pass along. CNN generally only passes along the facts that support left wing and vice versa with Fox.
I've become fairly disappointed with CBC recently...most of the pieces they write now are opinion versus fact and are in general left leaning.
I'd wish media would just present fact and then let us decide how to interpret it.
President Trump announced Monday that he is naming Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster as his national security adviser, replacing the ousted Michael Flynn.
Trump called McMaster "a man of tremendous talent and tremendous experience” as he introduced him to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida before leaving to return to Washington.
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who has been serving in an acting capacity as national security adviser, will be the National Security Council chief of staff, Trump said.
Trump's sure golfing lots after telling supporters he'll be too busy to golf. His staff can't even not lie about that, saying he played a few holes until his golfing partner said he played 18 holes with Trump, the the White House changed their story.

Here's some more info on McMaster. He definitely seems like a decent/sane choice for this position. I found this bit interesting:

In 1997, McMaster published Dereliction of Duty, a book that criticized the military officers of the Vietnam War era for not challenging President Lyndon B. Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara over their Vietnam strategies.

How do facts have a left and a right to them? Arent facts, well...facts?
Opinion pieces are exactly that, the authors opinion and are labeled that way on every worthwhile news source.
In regards to the Don Lemon piece, that was a news story, the costs associated with how Trump and family is going about their business. Trumps travelling south every weekend, his kids going to the middle east on Trump company business and having his wife live in NY is costing the Govt and Secret Service a ton of money for protection. For that panelist to call it fake news was laughable.

I'm finding it harder and harder to find news stories that contain just fact. Most lean left or right in their presentation of facts which is frustrating.
I was not referring to the story at hand (Don and twitter) but more in general.

Nobody reads a list of facts

I got lost at "CNN only passes along left wing facts". Sounds like someone may be searching for non-partisan facts. Like those alternative ones.

I used to really like CNN Headline News back in the early to mid 2000's. Was madly in love with Rudi Bakhtiar. I felt like it was a pretty fact based news report. Not a lot of interviews and talking heads. Just reporting the news.
