Of course. Unlike the domestic press, they have no reason to pretend Sanders is viable. nt SunSeeker Jun 2016 #2

although it was frequently maddening to hear the networks in the US speak as though it was still "anybody's game," I understand their reluctance to influence the voting in any contest before the requisite number of delegates was achieved.

The press here had already acknowledged that Hillary would achieve that number on 6/7 at 8pm EST.

And then she gave THAT SPEECH.

Yeah. It's TIME.

recently and the BBC, France 24 and DW all seem to be doing exactly what you say and have been quite respectful to Hill, especially since this speech.

Last night, however, we tuned in to RT. I had never seen the broadcast version. Their characterization of Hillary's speech seems designed as an attack ad for Trump. Putin seems to see Trump as an American version of Boris Yeltsin, whom he very easily handled.

He seems to believe that he could also handle A**h*** Trump every bit as easily as he did Yelchin.

RT also featured a panel with Crystal Wright very much jn evidence, which is just another reason to beleve that the radical left and the radical right are so close as to be practically inseparable. Wright is also a frequent Fox contributor.

My grandmother used to say: "The political spectrum is not a line but a circle; the farther left or right you go, it's all the same.

Just as I would figure about RT from the articles I saw pushed around here when I use to read in the forums.

So sorry putin.. you're going to get Hillary to deal with.
