The former anchor claims the network was in the tank for Hillary Clinton MSNBC anchor-turned-Russia Today host, Ed Schultz, told National Review Monday that he believes he was fired from the left-leaning cable news network because he openly supported Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary. The network, he claims, was in the tank for Hillary Clinton. The interview itself is fascinating and a shocking look at the inner workings of MSNBC, even if Schultz isn't exactly a reliable narrator. Schultz claims that MSNBC took a heavy hand in dictating what went on air, and that he was often pushed in the direction of a story by higher-ups, even if he felt his audience wouldn't be interested. Schultz says his trouble at MSNBC started when he informed his bosses that he planned to cover Bernie Sanders' campaign announcement live from Vermont, and that he would be airing the first, exclusive, cable network interview with the progressive pr

When will you get the message? Comply, as Jordan, Egypt and others did and we’ll protect your leaders, ensure favorable press, shore up your economy, secure energy needs, and engage your businessmen. In short: abide by our imperial diktat. by Barbara Nimri Aziz Alternative advice to a marginal (but an ambitious) nation determined to follow an independent course might be: build a solid self-sufficient economy; lure home your best expatriate talent in IT, engineering, medical research and media. Having done this, you may survive if: if you keep your head down, if you don’t ally yourself with another strong power, if you abandon all regional ambitions, and if your people don’t try to excel? Above all, never do anything nasty “to your own people” allowing human rights specialists to declare at the appropriate moment, your “threat to humankind”. Whichever is the best strategy for survival, neither Syria nor Iraq found a way to avoid the wrath of the American

Report from last year - see who instantly benefits from airstrikes Raytheon stock surged Friday morning, after 59 of the company’s Tomahawk missiles were used to strike Syria in Donald Trump’s first major military operation as President. Trump ordered the airstrike on the Syrian government Thursday night in retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack on civilians earlier this week that killed as many as 100 people. The U.S. blamed the attack on the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Tomahawk missile used in the strike is made by Raytheon (rtn, +1.48%), whose stock opened 2.5% higher Friday, adding more than $1 billion to the defense contractor’s market capitalization. The shares of other missile and weapons manufacturers, including Boeing (ba, +0.83%), Lockheed Martin (lmt, +1.04%), Northrop Grumman (noc, +0.58%) and General Dynamics (gd, +0.25%), each rose as much as 1%, collectively gaining nearly $5 billion in market value as

by system failure Anyone who would have been unfortunate enough to be present at the UK parliament yesterday, would have become a witness of a repulsive spectacle. The British PM, Theresa May, was expected to have a tough time facing the members of the parliament about her unprecedented decision to order military action without the approval of the parliament, following the US on the illegal airstrikes against Syria last week. Yet, instead of that, we saw that most of the members unquestionably adopted the story that the Syrian army used chemical weapons against civilians at the time where the last remnants of the jihadists were ready to surrender. Without any clear evidence still. Almost zero resistance against the Iraq war - type lies. The atmosphere inside the House was resembling a bad-directed theatrical play. It would give you the impression that anyone who would dare to challenge the "facts", would have been immediately kicked-out fr

Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov claims OPCW used Swiss experts who found traces of a nerve agent used by the west Moscow on Saturday accused the chemical weapons watchdog of manipulating the results of its investigation into the poisoning of a former Russian spy, saying his samples had traces of a nerve agent used by the west. Britain says former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were last month targeted with a nerve agent of the novichok family, which was developed in the Soviet Union. The attack shredded ties between Russia and Britain and led to a crisis in relations between Moscow and the west including a huge wave of tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has said it confirmed “ the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical ” without naming the substance involved. On Saturday, Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, claimed the UN-linked
