Understanding this election, the religious right, to the tune of 81% of them voted for Small Hand Donald. In doing so, they gave up any moral authority as they sanctioned a rapist, “Grab’em by the pussy,” they sanctioned a traitor, selling out to Russian money laundering for his wealth. And they sanctioned a moral degenerate who has not even read the Bible. All for their hatred of Hilary Clinton? Might be more than just her name, but her sex as well. The so called “Bible Belt” is in an ongoing war against reproductive rights such as family planning and abortion. Thankfully, this is part of a dying generation, with the younger people being more open to other people from other cultures, religions and policies. As well, the browning of America, as minorities will overtake the white population by 2040, which if they have not been gerrymandered into tight enclaves, should swing the government to progressive policies. As well, at the same time, at least two more cases are heading to the Supreme Court where hopefully one of them will be accepted and become a law under which civil liberties can challenge the racist partitions that allowed the Republicans to win 40% of the vote in Wisconsin but 60% of the seats. And as an added bonus, as the viewing audience of Fox New is on average 78 years old and is only getting older as the years pass by, Fox will be seeing themselves aged out of business by their own catering to “old white guy” politics. It is no longer the era of the TV show “Mad Men” where the notion of “Civil Elegance” coined by Studs Terkel. Where minorities knew their “place” and allowed the “natural” order of things to exist, in the Fox News world order that allowed white men to sexually harass any female they saw because it was their “natural, God given” right to do so? Times they are a changing. And about time too. The next twenty years are going to be all about who will control the next thousand years of American history. And who will adapt and who will be run off the road. Simply put, the era of yesteryear, where White Males were the end all, be all of everything, has come and is now well on its way to being gone. The hold of the religious right to its members is slipping with each generation. The political ideology of selfishness and shameless behaviour without consequences is over. This lesson needs to be learned not only by the Republicans but by the Democrats as well. They cannot keep the same line up of corporatist, right wing fools and hold on to the vote. Progressive candidates are going to run primary challenges and will unseat them. The anger in the field is keeping Republicans from any sort of meetings with their voters. Imagine what it will be like next year when the whole house is up for grabs. A clean slate of people running for office with progressive legislative goals will overwhelm the Republican house and perhaps carry over and take the Senate. Leaving Small Hand Donald and his neo Nazi buddies not only in the fringe but actively being sought by police for high crimes and misadventures as seen in their behavior in Charlottesville among other places. As they well should be. A better tomorrow, here we come… I hope they don’t screw it up…

I have to go to the dentist next week, near a mall. So when I told mother where I was going and where it was located, she was like; “I am going as well.” I was like; “You are coming with me to the dentist?” She replied; “Hell no, you do that on your own. When you are finished, come and find me in the shopping mall to take me home!” At least she has her priorities straight. Her shopping is way more important then way below that which is my pain… thanks Mom!
But speaking of straight priorities, let me tell you about when I went to my last dentist, key word there? “Last.” You will see why. I have a rotten mouth with lots of problems with my teeth, so much so that I have been going to the same dentist for the last forty years. So about ten teeth are sheared off at or below the gum line, they have to be extracted and then implants put in. So I go to this dentist, forty years of going to him, key point top remember here. I show him what I have and what work needs to be done. He agrees that this work has to be done but first we have stuff even more important. Really? You need to know that these teeth, all ten stumps are slowly dying. Very slowly and it takes weeks before they die and the pain fades away. So as I eat, food gets into them, and they eventually die from that, I guess, or die on their own from other cause that I don’t even know why. All of which is spectacularly painful. A cruel pain that very little will help resolve except to drink beer or alcohol. That helps, somewhat. So something more important to do? Well, considering the agonizing pain I have been having, let’s get that done first. I don’t want anything worse than the pain I already have. So he does what Dentists do and fills in three small nicks, which I did not even notice on the front teeth! They caused me no pain and were no problem to eat with etc, but unlike extraction which I needed to stop the pain, extractions are hard to operate and remove, especially when they are molars and below the gum line. Those small nicks are the easiest things to do, in front and on the top. Best of all, they pay the most as they can charge the most for repairs. He can and did charge me like 250$ each, extractions pay only like 75-100$ per tooth. There goes my insurance coverage of one thousand dollars, all of it spent on three cosmetic fillings. All because it was important that I keep my “Hollywood smile.” Direct quote. Only problem is? I don’t smile. I am in too much pain from those teeth that should have been extracted or should have if this practitioner of over 40 years had done his job instead of thinking with his wallet before thinking of the patients well being and health. So I walked away from there. Canceled my next appointment and have not booked another one with that “dentist”. It has been over a year now that I have not gone near a dentist. I will try again with this new one and see what she is like. Only I will tell her my story and make sure she understands; no filling only extractions. No cosmetic repairs, only pain relief. There is a war in my mouth, teeth are dying and I need someone to stop this agonizing pain from crushing my spirit and killing me with pain.

Recently I heard the magic of index funds. And let me tell you the song they sung was amazing. It goes like this; If you invest 100,000 dollars for 50 years in a mutual fund that charges you two percent management fees, your hard earned money would end up paying 2/3 of the grow to the company not to you, even if you got 7% annual interest. And skeptically, I checked that math out. I could not believe it. It seems that yes indeed the increase in value is like 6 million to a mere 2 million. Thus the house takes 2/3 of the value. The solution is to invest in an Index fund where they do not charge high management fees. I really had to dig deeper on two fronts, the initial claim and index funds. First, let’s look at index funds; the average index fund is based on the investments held in say the Dow, of TSX or even London or Paris etc. Take a stock exchange anywhere and invest only in the companies listed on that exchange. This is an index fund. When the index goes up you go up and when it goes down you go down. So Bull is bullish and bear you just got to grin and bear it. The simple fact is they do charge lower fees but not significantly lower and the rates of return for those lower fees also show it. They are charging less but they are getting less. Remember 50% of all indexes do not bet the average. So I would hold off on investing my money in an index today, and keep reading.
The initial claim, of 100K and 50 years is also suspect. It is used because it is a round number and the math shows out the claim. I do not doubt the claim, because I have run the math and looked at the resulting growth graphs. I question the premise. How many 15 year olds have 100 K? Why 15 years of age? Well retirement is 65, take away 50 years and you have 15. Most people do not have that kind of money so they invest in 10 and 20 denominations. Also, they do not start until they are in the twenties and thirties making the overall gains to be about 20-30 years, not 50 years in the example. But why is it so important to be 50 years? Because, the really spectacular gains occur in the last 20 years, where compound interest kick‘s in a lot harder. So what I say here is; don’t worry about management fees. Of course always try to get the lowest fees you can get. But paying them 1-2% is fair for the work they do to create the whole mutual fund itself.
Last thought on where I should invest my money? I would take my money, and I have and invest it in the dividend stocks mutual fund. Basically, to be in the class of a dividend mutual fund you have to pay a dividend. This is free money the company is giving you each quarter. It can be used to buy more shares for a locked in account like an RRSP of 401K, or it can be cashed out for other types of investment. But there is another factor at play here. The stock itself can go up in value over time. So you gain twice, once from the quarterly cash injection and second from the increase in value for the stocks held in the portfolio. Lastly, is the bonus growth from having, usually, lower than average management fees. There is little trading cost for a dividend fund, as they tend to stay with the same stock for years on end requiring only that they pay the dividends agreed to. Most companies do that anyways.
Before investing or buy any sort of mutual fund or stock, please speak with a competent professional. Be sure to establish they are licensed to give advice and are registered with your local, state or provincial government. Never use cash to invest person to person. Always use cheque or bank payment systems to protect against fraud.
When in doubt, check things out. If it is too good to be true, then it usually is too good to be true.

And none dare say it. I will. What, allegedly, is coming out of the USA are reports that may establish the following: Donald J. Trump, AKA Doll Hand Donald, AKA DHD, is a traitor to the United States of America and everything for which it stands for. He took over from his father, who had amassed enormous wealth, only to be squandered by DHD who is incompetent at best in business. DHD is all show with no substance, bankrupting himself and businesses like eight times. After burning American banks and European banks, DHD turned to his only “friends”, the Russian mob. He began to import and launders their money into his far flung empire. At the same time he splashed his name all over the world as a brand name to show quality. If anything it was a brand name for slick, cheap rip-offs. But being all showy, people assumed he was a success. Except, if DHD had taken the money from his father and placed it into a money market stocks or a mutual fund account he would be the multi billionaire he claims. Instead he only can claim it but is nothing of the sort. Real billionaires do not try to rip people off like DHD did with Trump University. Real billionaires do not raise the rent on the protection detail of the Secret Service so they cannot afford to rent an office in Trump Towers to protect the so called President while he is staying in New York. Real billionaires simply do not do such things. Doll Hand Donald is not a billionaire. So in order to hype his own brand, DHD ran for president, mostly to get his name and brand out there into the new media and on social media. Only but the smallest of margins, less than a rounding error, perhaps as small as 30 000 votes, he won the election. It was that close. Let’s also not forget that the Democrats ran perhaps the second worst candidate in Hilary Clinton, being only bested by DHD for he is the worst. Along the way, DHD colluded with the Russians Mob, now they run the Russian Government, control the state apparatus to infiltrate and hack into mechanics of the American election in order to influence it for DHD. But his is now coming to light as a grand jury has been convened to start taking testimony, gather and subpoena documents and other evidence. In other words, we have reached the phase of “This might be really serious.” If there was nothing to this “Fake News” it would never have gotten beyond the “investigation” phase. With the grand jury, we have entered a new phase of this investigation. We have not reached the phase where we can say it is serious. That will be when the grand jury hands down indictments. Which, if news reporting is to be believed, will happen in due time. One by one, all of the cronies and sycophants surround DHD are going to be brought low and sent to jail. And best of all, the President has the Constitutional power to pardon them all. This means they cannot use the Fifth Amendment protection and must answer any and all questions honestly. Including point fingers at the so called President DHD. Even now, as DHD continues his rampage across government, the checks and Balance enshrined within it are pushing back. Passing laws on Russian Sanctions; the Senate refusing to go out of session so DHD cannot fire his Attorney General and replace him with a toady who will fire special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and the various court challenges over his actions in EPA, Travel Bans, all are part of protect the state itself from this traitor. That clanging bell? That’s the clanging chime of doom. It clangs for you Doll Hand Donald. Tick tock, thy end is near.

A Syrian arrives in Toronto as a new immigrant to Canada. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, “Thank you, Mr. Canadian, for letting me come into this country, giving me housing, income support, free medical care, free housing and a free education!”

The passer-by says, “You are mistaken, I am Egyptian.”

The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. “Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Canada.”

The person says, “I not Canadian, I am Pakistani.”

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, “Thank you for wonderful country Canada.”

That person puts up his hand and says, “I am from Afghanistan. I am not Canadian.”

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, “Are you a Canadian woman?”

She says, “No, I am from Africa.” Puzzled, he asks her, “Where are all the Canadians?”

The African lady checks her watch and says, “Probably at work.”

You got the joke’s punch line wrong.

The real punch line is the lady looked at the Syrian and said, “This is Canada, we are all immigrants here.”

See I understand why the joke will be seen as horrific to some people, stereotyping immigrants as being out of work, lazy and living off the taxpayer. Immigration in economic terms is source of new blood and new business to any community.  But why get into that boring economic argument.

Let me instead tell you about a few of “those” people that I have met.

A nice man from Zimbabwe: he was working hard to send his family 25$ a week. It seems small to us here but it was all he could afford to send. For his family it meant literally life or death. They used the money to keep themselves in food.

A very beautiful lady and I mean she could have been a model, she was that pretty. Except across her check was a straight line, well healed scar.  It was hardly noticeable, she covered it in makeup. She never would talk about it much. I never earned her trust enough to ask, but she did not last at the company very long. She has a drinking problem. Post tramatic stress. See her problem; she was a survivor of the Rwandan Genocide. That scar on her beauty that she tried to cover? This is how the killers marked their victims. It meant they had raped her, and considering how pretty she was, more than few took their turn.

How about this young couple: he was a hard worker and keen. His wife was pregnant with a new child. He was a political refugee. If he returned to Venezuela, the hit squad that had attacked his home with machine gun fire would surely find him.

Or better the Iranian. He was in the market when a man walked up and shot him point blank range. He was a doctor. His friends removed the bullet and before the blood from the surgery could be cleaned he was in a car driving for the border. It was a long drive. No pain killers so he had to stay quiet all the way for fear they might attract attention driving down a road with a man crying out in pain. See his mistake; he was part of the underground that wants to bring western style freedoms back to Iran. However in Canada, even though he was a fully qualified doctor, he could not get any information from Iran. He could not get a job without qualifications and Iran had already stripped him of any such thing as even being a citizen of their country.

One of his fellow countrymen was luckier. He had been an intern in Moscow before Iran had blacklisted him. His transcripts could still be obtained from the Russians. He became a doctor here in Canada but instead left to run a free clinic in Pakistan. Seems he felt so grateful for what we had given him in allowing him to come here and be a citizen, and earn his completed MD, he wanted to give something back. So with the help of the Canadian Government he set up a free medical clinic in Pakistan to help the poor and downtrodden with some of the skills we had provided to him.

All of these people have immigration in common. They came here for a better life, a safer life. Just like my family did. See, my forebear, he got off the boat with Samuel Du Champlain. He had 17 kids that one. One of them was a grandfather Coureur des bois, who left for Alberta where he met an Indian lady from the Blackfoot tribe. They married and had kids. One of them joined the fledgling Canadian Army to help with the Riel Rebellion. He served out his time then settled outside the fort in Kingston. A few generations after came my grandfather. In the “Dirty Thirties” he moved to Montreal where the jobs were and met my grandmother. Depression, 1929, and she was another off the boat immigrant from Scotland. They had two kids, one being my father and were married all their lives to each other. My father married my mother; she was half English from England and the other half Irish. Make me what? French, aboriginal, Scottish, Irish, English? Which is why, in the census a few years ago, I and a few thousand other Canadians, all broke the law and refused to call ourselves as “Hyphen Canadian.” We all clicked other, and wrote in Canadian. So much so, that Stats Canada changed the census so that forever more, Canadians can just say we are “Canadians” and no need to be some form of hyphen in front of it.

We all got off the boat. Calling the latest people coming off that same boat anything derogatory would be the same as calling all my family names too. It was not that long ago when there were signs in shop windows, “Help Wanted, No Irish need apply.” McGill would only let in so many Jews and then they would reject the rest, no matter how qualified they were. Today, Blacks are racially profiled by police. Do I even need to go on? Let me conclude with this question; when does the racism stop, if not here with us, right now? The joke was not funny.

So let’s see if we can get the facts in line for the Trump administration as of the six month mark. (It has only been six months of this?) The Donald having failed at business, going bankrupt eight times, costing American banks millions was unable to find a lender for his next failure. So he went east to Russia. Thereby began his new empire of money laundering for the Russian Mob, oligarchy and anyone else that could pay his bills for him. Hence why he has such a close relationship with the actual New York Mob and why his personal lawyers are all Mob lawyers. Then he ran for President. Thus, inevitable comes his illegal dealings with Russia, seeking their aid and assistance with the election. We have collusion with his sons and strange Russians who seemingly no one can come up with who exactly were there. It started out with only a few and has grown to legions. All the while anyone who reports it is making false news. Whereas the kind of false news AKA Fox has to do back flips in order to keep on supporting Trump and his failed Presidency. Next comes the firings! Spicer then Reince Priebus who knows who is next? Perhaps we can guess that it will be Attorney General Sessions, in order to get someone compliant enough to fire special prosecutor Mueller. People say Watergate was an intense time. This one is even worse. Who knows where it will end. In Presidential Pardons? Already in the forefront of Trump’s position and ready to be used in a moment notice. Which like anything that Trump has done, being the total failure that he is, when he pardons all his co-conspirators, they will be brought in and forced to testify or be charged with Obstruction. When you have immunity, you cannot plead your 5th amendment right not to self incriminate. As that is already off the legal table, so to speak. So anything you say is free of any legal threat or harm. Unless you lie! This bunch of “covfefe,” lie about what they ate for breakfasts just out of sheer habit. Or if they refuse to testify; they can be jailed for that as well. This mess can only be fixed in a Republican political bloodbath at the Midterm Elections in 2018. Turn them all out and hire new people. Forced the GOP to look in the mirror and see just what they have done to themselves, their party and to their country. Let it be known far and wide. The Grand Old Party is simply the party of traitors and Russian defectors. And let its name be stricken from the record in shame. Let the next man who rises up with a banner and the name Republican, be shouted down as would be the Marxist-Leninist party candid at the Baptist Church Revival meeting.

There is a store, where the owner of the building wanted to tear it down and build a much bigger, grandeur and up to date place for business. It would be a grand building with all the latest technology and be the jewel of architectural engineering. There was a sole problem. The man who rented from him refused to move. He would be out of business, even if the landlord vowed to honour the man’s lease in his new building. It would take three years to rebuild. What would the small renter do for commerce in those years? He would go broke. His business would certainly find other people and other places to shop. He would have to restart all over and worse, have to rebuild all his business and clients from scratch. Now reasonable people could find some sort of compromise. If that did not work, then they could get lawyers and take the matter to court but that would cost and it would take a long time, perhaps even longer than the three years to build the new building. Or they could find a third way. Hired some punks to smash the window, toss in some gasoline and try to burn out the small business owner. While I suspect that the latter is not taught at the Molson School of Business, it did seem to do the trick. The small business owner shut his store and took the cash from the insurance. The Building owner, and now criminal, is free to build the very building he wants. Sadly, the police know who ordered this hit, and why. They have not been able to find out who did the actual nasty deed and flip them on the owner. How stupid do we have to be in order to add two plus two and comes to some other number aside from the expected result of “Go to jail and do not pass Go”.

Poet of Truth Volume 1: Speaking Verse in a World of Prose

Omar Khadr, that terrorist scum just got a 10.5 million dollar payout from the loony leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. OMG! What is this world coming to? How about that thing called fair, and just. My first reaction was scornful to see money, tax payer money, going to a terrorist. Or is it? We all know the facts about his life and how he killed American troops in Afghanistan. Right? How he was in Gitmo, Guantánamo Bay, Cuba for years then tried, convicted by pleading guilty to all charges and finally shipped to Canada. Right? But is that all? In fact, knowing any of this, is hardly knowing anything at all.
Khadr was a child soldier. Big deal, you might think, but it is a big deal. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 38, states: “State parties shall take all feasible measures to ensure that persons who have not attained the age of 15 years do not take a direct part in hostilities.”(link)
Khadr was captured at the age of 15, which means he had been a child solder in battle, used by father who was killed in the same firefight that Omar was captured in. If the father had been captured alive, the father would have been found guilty of a war crime of using his son to fight this battle, even if convicted of nothing else. Yet for all these indisputable facts, Omar was captured and sent to Gitmo as a prisoner of war, except they were not called that and given none of the protections normally offered to prisoners of war. There he was forced to endure ten years of torture by incompetent CIA agents, called Enhanced interrogation techniques, where the Washington Post on December 12, 2008, called these harsh interrogation policies that “disgraced the nation and undermined U.S. security.” (link) Where Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture concluded that torturing prisoners did not help acquire actionable intelligence or gain cooperation from detainees and that the program damaged the United States’ international standing. (link)  Khadr after ten years of pain, suffering and torture broke and confessed to anything they wanted him to say. Canada under Stephan Harper’s government sent in CSIS agents into Gitmo to “Help.” A mind shattered, a body broken beyond measure, he confessed to his crimes and was sentenced to more time in jail. What was his crime that he confessed to? In a firefight, in the war zone called Afghanistan; i.e. both sides would be trying to kill the other side, Omar allegedly tossed a grenade at an American soldier who was carrying a peace banner, planting hope and spreading universal love and friendship… No, the American soldier, who was armed and ready to kill him in the heat of battle would have been a legitimate target of war where solders kill one another without it being called a war crime. War means men and women die. But did Khadr even toss that grenade? Evidence is weak and in the heat of battle the eye witness report is questionable as the person only concluded it was he, Khadr who tossed the grenade. He did not witness it himself. So rather than being fact, it was assumed to be true, meaning the weakest of circumstantial evidence. (Link)   Yet, the pundits will screech, he confessed. Yes, he did after ten years of torture to get out of a living hell hole, he confessed. And the value of that confession is in the paper it is on, for use in bathroom breaks that he was not allowed the luxury to take while being so tortured. Finally transferred to Canada, where a more just outcome, based on the rule of law, not the jingoistic passion fueled by the right wing rhetoric of the USA, where they are on their third President and Gitmo is still a prison, he, Khadr was released from prison. He sued the Canadian government for 20 million dollars. Even to be released his case had to travel to the Supreme Court of Canada where the lower courts found Canada have violated international law, and the Supreme Court of Canada found the Harper Government have violated his Charter rights. (Link)  Just how many violations of international law, Charter Rights and common human decency must one man endure? How long must a man suffer incompetent interrogation and torture before we step back and say enough?  Clearly, the answer is still not to be found. The widow of the slain American soldier has a court judgement from Utah against Khadr for 134 million. She had taken legal steps to gain all or some of his money from the government. Clearly this story is not over. The matter is now before the courts and as such no further comment on this matter, until the legality of it all is resolved.
Justin Trudeau did not start this shameful embarrassing matter. He only put an end to it. And we should be grateful someone finally did so to put an end fo the shame of Canada’s behavior to a 15 year old boy.

Roger Ailes after having been fired for sexual harassment has died. Bill O’Reilly, also having been fired for sexual harassment is now forced out to an even deeper backwater of The Blaze to express his views. Megyn Kelly having fled Fox for greener pastures and perhaps a place that would not have allowed the disrespect she endured with Donald Trump during the recent election campaign. The last big name of Sean Hannity is reportedly either about to be fired, let go or quit Fox over the fake news story of murdered DNC staff Seth Rich, who Hannity has claimed to have been murdered by the DNC as a reprisal for leaking to Wikileaks. This new story having been debunked not only by the liberal media (Like that exists anymore…), but even Fox news itself. Advertisers having seen what happens when they act without conscious in the election of Trump are now using those ad dollars in a more respectful manner to run away from controversy. They ran from Bill O’Reilly because he was been chased with sexual harassment claims. Who wants to be associated with that sort of legal quagmire even if only to be seen by advertising on that persons show? Now word is coming down that Hanity is losing advertisement. Reports behind the scene say that the Murdock Family is facing stiff opposition in their business affairs in Europe over the policed of the American network itself, once the most profitable arm of the family’s empire but now suffering the lowest ratings in its seventeen year existence. People are fleeing Fox for CNBC or CNN and taking their viewing tax dollars with them. The question is why? Or better put why now? The answer is, laughable, Marxist. The internal dialectic having reached open contradiction with itself has cause the system to collapse and new one to emerge just as all economic levels have done before. (Editor’s Note: I cannot believe, for the first time ever, I have found a use for Marxian Dialectics in action!) Fox has always had an older crowd of people. These people were the strong backbone and the secret of its success. They were mostly white males for a long ago era where white males were able to be superiors, racists and sexist. Women knew their place and blacks where openly treated as inferior. All of which is the editorial policy and face of Fox. Whenever they brought someone black on, they inevitable blamed blacks for their own problems. Women were all in skirts and high heels. Men were all in business suits. Even the set designed to show the women and their legs off. Such small things caught the viewer’s attention. This is not to say that people where not tuning in over content. We have to keep in mind that retired people, the same people who watch Fox tend to vote in the 90% plus percentile. So any political message will send them to the polls with the intent of delivering the Fox message to the political class. This has worked for near 20 years. Until now when it does not work. See it was safe to play the spoiler, to act as a trouble maker so long as there are responsible adults in the room. Obama was a mature, respectful leader. Now America has Trump. And on just one issue, out of the overwhelming many issues, we can see exactly why people have fled Fox. Health Care reform. It is one thing to laugh as other groups are picked upon and targeted by Fox and their policies of divide and conqueror but those policies are now turning on the very people who sponsored them. Simply put, if republicans repeal Obamacare, The Affordable Health Care Act, some of the people most in need of its services being the elderly, will see their premiums rise near on 5 fold. Thus making the sheer cost increase too vast to be covered by people on fixed incomes. Suddenly, when for the longest while you have had it so good, and suddenly someone will take that people want to know what is going on. They turn from the cartoon entertainment to real news and drift over to a real news station. Hence, the decline of Fox and hail to the new ratings King of cable TV, CNBC. The only other aside for your consideration, must be the simple aging of the population. As that audience dies off, it is not being replaced. Thus making Fox into a generational phenomena. And like all movements based on a set cohort, when the cohort dies, so too does the movement. Is Fox dying or merely weathering on the vine? Time will tell. Just don’t expect that Fox will fairly report this story in any balanced fashion, any time soon.
