Grim fact Bohemian Rhapsody can’t avoidBohemian Rhapsody’s Golden Globes win for Best Picture was a stunning upset — but as the movie’s stars and producers took the stage to claim their prize, there was a much bigger elephant in the room: sacked director, Bryan Singer. SPOILER: The ‘elephant in the room’ was Bryan Singer, who directed the film but was sacked not long before it was completed. No one thanked him in the acceptance speeches NoClickbait Surprised that it won. I have yet to meet any person who admits to an interest in seeing it. I have MANY who think that there is something suspect about it winning. I like many bands, but would have no interest in a movie based on one member's biography.

Frank Sesno says networks made the right call on Trump speechTraditionally, presidential requests to address the nation get quick approval from the US television networks, but Donald Trump's latest request caused some angst for the networks. franksesno LindaMottram SMPAGWU Depends on who's doing the fact checking. For instance, Breitbart has started doing 'fact' checks and I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of that shithole. franksesno LindaMottram SMPAGWU CNN and the reporters, and all the other idiots do not fact check. Don’t trust news or atoms. They make all things up. franksesno LindaMottram SMPAGWU But in abc land feelings win over facts.

As usual, he sent the fact-checkers into overdrive. Trump's lies are on overdrive build the wall , build it tall 👌🏾 Trump never delivered anything but endless entertainment on a daily basis portraying how America could elect such a crook and deranged human as their president.
