A 2015 STORY ABOUT THE CLINTONS, ROSATOM, PUTIN, URANIUM:This story has long legs and is far from over.Bottom line is Putin wanted to control the uranium mining and distribution business and it appears from current news that he may well have accomplished all this. Thanks to Billy Clinton, his wife, the State Department, and lax oversight at all levels of government. This is a major scandal with many particioants at all levels.

THIS GUY THINKS HE GETS IT:But I doubt it after 20+ years with NPR. He's probably just setting himself up for his new career in the private sector. He thinks Trump is mostly demagoguing and he waffles about why there's so much distrust of MSM. Maybe he'd like to explain the media lovefest for Obama and the Clintons et al democrats, all the stories of corruption NOT covered or covered lightly, and on and on. I'm not impressed with this faint mea culpa.
THE HILL DID THE HEAVY LIFTING ON THIS STORY:Clarice Feldman ties many loose ends together in her report here.

LIB BIAS AT UCLA:Excellent examples of suppression of free speech on campus.Maybe a bigger wuestion is the need for and utility of courses like the one this professor is teaching. Such courses are boud to attract the weirdos and sexually confused types snd serve no lasting purpose.
