People are disgusted and embarrassed by the Fake News Media, as headed by the @nytimes,
@washingtonpost, @comcast & MSDNC, @ABC
@CBSNews and more. They no longer believe what they see and read, and for good reason.
Fake News is, indeed, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!

$2k a month for a toilet bedroom in London
at second glance the bathroom is outsized for the tiny flat. I suppose the "reception area" is too small for even a twin bed.

London (CNN)At first glance, the advertisement looks impressive: A one-bedroom flat in London's trendy Camden Town, situated in a pretty townhouse and boasting "high ceilings" and "designer marble worktops."
Flicking through the pictures, there are smart wooden floorboards, a Smeg oven and ... Oh wait. Here's the catch: The bed is in the bathroom.
Yes, if you were to roll out of bed you'd find yourself almost smacking into either the toilet or the basin.
And the asking price? £1,500 (US$1,940) per month for the 27-square-meter flat, according to estate agent Foxtons. CNN contacted the company -- one of London's leading realtors -- but it declined to comment on the price or how much interest the ad had generated.
What's most shocking, though, is that such a sizable price tag for a less-than-ideal living arrangement is by no means out of the ordinary in London's rental market.
Experts say the British capital is experiencing a housing crisis. A shortage of affordable homes is pricing people out, impacting Londoners' mental health, and -- in extreme cases -- driving up homelessness.

Earlier this week, a sexually explicit cartoon surfaced depicting Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and featuring the logo of the Canadian oil company X-site. The image sparked outrage and an investigation by the Canadian federal police. Thunberg responded on Saturday: "They are starting to get more and more desperate ... This shows that we’re winning."

Narang said she called the general manager of X-Site, Doug Sparrow, asking him if he knew about the sticker that appears to depict the rape of a minor. He said he was aware of it, according to Narang, and his response was, “She’s not a child, she’s 17.”

Chicago officers are under investigation after video shows police shooting a man at a train station
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/29/us/chicago-police-shooting-video/index.htmlChicago officers are under investigation after video shows police shooting a man at a train station
A video recorded by a bystander shows the officers struggling to restrain a man near an escalator at the station. The officers take the man down and within seconds, one of them is seen lying on top of him and attempting to handcuff him.
As they continue struggling, one of the officers is heard repeatedly shouting "stop resisting" while the man responds, "I didn't do nothing to you."
Both officers used stun guns on the man, police said.
The video shows police struggling with the man for several minutes before he breaks free from being pinned on the ground. At that point, one of the officers yells "shoot him!" and the other fires toward the man. The officer who fired the weapon shot at the man twice, police said in a statement.
The man, who was not identified, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he remains in critical but stable condition after surgery, police said.
Gloria Schmidt Rodriguez, an attorney representing the man, told CNN he suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and another wound to the buttocks area. It appears that he will undergo more than one surgery, she said.
The police department reached out to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to review the incident for possible criminal charges, according to a statement by the attorney's office. The State's Attorney's Office is working with the FBI on the investigation.
The officers won't be assigned field duties and will be on desk work pending the outcome of an investigation by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, the police department said. The officers were not named by police.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot described the video as "extremely disturbing" and said that while the video does not depict the entirety of the incident, the officers' actions were "deeply concerning."
'Thank you, God': Trump revels in reign as absolute king of CPAC
At the grassroots conservative gathering after fronting a coronavirus briefing, the president was back in his happy place
Stop Donald Trump now, Democrats warned at his impeachment trial, or will he take on the aspect of a king.
The prophecy appears to have been borne out, as the US president hands out jobs to loyalists, purges perceived enemies, pardons convicted criminals and swaggers as if with a divine right.
On Saturday, addressing the biggest annual gathering of US grassroots conservatives, Trump wondered aloud at it being “sort of a miracle” he has got so much done despite all he’s been through.
“Maybe it’s right there, right?” he asked, pointing to the heavens. “Thank you, God.”
The crowd loved it. Trump stayed away from a sceptical Conservative Political Action Conference in 2016 but now he is its sun king. Supporters in a palatial ballroom at the National Harbour leaped to their feet, whooping and cheering, many wearing “Make America great again” and “Keep America great” caps.
They roared their approval when, like a medieval monarch who has survived a bloody insurrection, Trump vowed revenge.
“They’re coming after me and we fight them back,” he said. “And now we’re going after them because we have no choice. We have to straighten out our country. But despite the best efforts of the leftwing fanatics, their scams, schemes, slanders, they’ve all been discredited, totally discredited.”
He singled out James Comey, whom he fired as director of the FBI, and special counsel Robert Mueller, who led the Russia investigation, as enemies whose heads deserved to end up on metaphorical spikes.
“How is Comey doing?” he asked, sardonically. “How is Bob Mueller doing? That was a great performance in Congress. ‘Raise your right hand.’ ‘What?’”
There was also mention of the Utah senator Mitt Romney, who voted to convict Trump at the impeachment trial and, like a rebellious duke, was banished from CPAC this year. Trump described Romney as “lowlife” and the crowd booed lustily.
