BY JON ALEXANDER A new trend has emerged in the wake of Donald Trump’s “surprising and impossible” victory in the US 2016 Presidential Elections. You’d have to be an ostrich not to have been confronted by the term “Fake News” of late. From what I can gather, the term appears to have been brought into existence by individuals and news networks upset that their credibility has … Continue reading MSM Running Scared

However, I do admit that once in a while a decent article or scoop appears in its pages and I hold nothing against those jottings on cricket by the estimable Vic Marks.
