Once upon a time Fox News' Bill O'Reilly accused NBC of being a fifth column for Putin. But this week, O'Reilly's own network praised Putin several times, saying things like, "Vladimir Putin is the one who really deserves that Nobel Peace Prize."
In reality, Fox News will side with anyone who attacks the President, and this week they've shown just how far they'll go in doing so.

That's why Democrats can't stay in power and republicans will run this nation into the ground.
Utopians can't accept gradual change for the better, even when the battle is against the massive power of the 1%ers.
That's why we're fucked.
