2:14 am
the book does quote the former senior adviser of the us presidents the banon he was one of many who left the white house last year and here are just a few of the books claims it is written from found the white house scary and ordered additional t.v. screens and a rock to on his bedroom door says it was the us leader himself who was behind leaks of personal information and it revealed that trump enjoys eating cheeseburgers in bed so america takes a look at why the book is proving to be so popular. readers have been promised an inside look into the q.c.'s scandals of the trumpet ministration and liberals all over the country have flocked to bookstores to get their hands on a copy and president trump's lawyers even tried to block the book's publication which made it even more sought after so in this small bookshop we're talking record numbers they had eighty four copies just this morning and they were sold out within six minutes and yes people came out in the freezing cold to get their copy of fire

2:16 am
have forgotten the last time this happened the infamous trumped us year that's now practically synonymous with fake news but also fair in times of war well at least in the media war against trump samia khan r. t. washington d.c. well media and legal analyst lionel told us why he thinks the book has become a favorite of the mainstream media nobody cares except the people in the mainstream media who can now focus on it they don't have to do any research they don't have to do any heavy lifting all they have to do is pick out the particulars portions that they like it's a rehash of the same story it's not substantive it doesn't deal with any of the problems that really affect the country or the world it's easy it's easy to digest low hanging fruit it's perfect for them what effect is it going to have absolutely nothing the people who hate dr hate him the people who love drum love him now these

2:19 am
idea that the government can offer in a fit if solutions to a number of crises and one tweet here even said it was micron's old rival he was elected president last year the french president unveiled his plan to tackle fake news on wednesday claiming it will protect the country from outside interference that was finished between fake news machines and the professional media we run the risk of losing the truth the barriers have been destroyed presidential campaigns and almost all modern democracies have displayed their weakness and our collective failure to come up with a response while the people we spoke to in paris believe it's not up to micron to decide what is fake and what isn't plus i will say that the first ones who make fake news are the presidential candidates who do not keep their promises this is the real fake news there should be that and who will take care of it is there going to be an anti fake news review there or something said through this door here is it

2:21 am
news he is targeting a social network he's targeting free speech on the internet i mean if this really was. about a law condemning fake news then he should start he was talking to the journalists where he should start talking to the journalist or french mainstream media who spread for a fake news on a daily basis and he didn't do that why because a lot of these french mainstream media belong to all the guards who are mr martin's friend and put him in power everybody has to be able to express themselves and don't forget that we have never had so much access to information today when there is speak news if people are old enough to vote then there and to understand the politics of france or the world today then they're all the nerve to get the information to debunk fake news themselves and they don't need a big brother to do that for them. now calling has dominated the world of cryptocurrency since it launched nine years ago when its prices shot up from less than a dollar to
