JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE INDEPENDENT RUNS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE 8 MOST CONTROVERSIAL WORLD LEADERS SUPPORTING TRUMP - A SOLIDLY STUPID PIECE THAT SETS A STANDARD FOR NEWSPAPER BIAS AND INACCURACY


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY CAROLINE SIMON IN THE INDEPENDENT


This literally is an article which might have been cut-and-pasted together by a class of giggling fourteen year-olds.

What do the editors at The Independent do each day, sit around trying to imagine new ways of attacking Trump and then getting some junior staffer to search the Internet for names and places?

In addition to your silly, deliberately provocative recitation of all those genuinely controversial figures such as the leader of North Korea, you throw in, for good measure, the most rational leader of our time and its outstanding statesman, Putin. Pure Cold War trash propaganda.

Besides the phony aura of evil you attempt to create, you are just wrong in fact - Putin has never endorsed Trump, only made a small reasonable comment about him.
