discovered evidence of Russian meddling in their elections, too.

Russia's meddling in other nations' elections is nothing new. Just ask the Europeans

Ann M. SimmonsAnn M. Simmons

Russia’s suspected interference in last year’s U.S. presidential election may have come as a surprise to some. But to many European nations, such an intrusion is nothing new.

For years, Russia has used a grab bag of illicit tactics, including the hacking of emails and mobile phones, the dissemination of fake news and character assassination, to try to undermine the political process in other countries.

“They have a history of doing this,” Roy Godson, professor of government emeritus at Georgetown University, told a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday. “They find this a successful use of their resources.”

Moscow has recently stepped up this type of activity, targeting political processes in France, Germany and the Netherlands, among other nations, according to experts who testified on the first day of a series of Senate hearings on Russia’s propaganda and intelligence campaign aimed at undermining the 2016 vote.

That would stop it for good.

They could go back to robbing their people.

Ongoing trials and testimony of witnesses talking about the inner dysfunction in the White House, criminal activity, scandals, etc., plus the possibility of impeachment?

All this is also a recipe for massive ratings.

I left the company a couple years ago, saw writing on the wall. Being in the newspaper industry is brutal. Long hours, high stress, constant threat of layoffs, and very low pay.

Am and pm
We got both
Journal bought sentinel. The sum turned out to be the lesser of the separate papers
Case in point. Last Saturday night packer game was not covered in the Sunday paper..
Said the game was late...it wasn't
No excuse for that. I understand deadlines. Spent years in print advertising.
Talking about the fucking Packers here.
No excuse
U really do not want to open a Sunday paper with no game coverage.
Just an example. All sections from editorial, to comics, to local news are pale images of what they were

he only mentions how he wants people to love him. I guess his parents had something to do with this. Never loved Donald, you misfit you.
