Muere el legendario Christopher PlummerEl actor Christopher Plummer, protagonista del mítico musical 'The Sound of Music' junto a Julie Andrews, falleció este viernes a los 91 años en su casa de Connecticut, confirmó su familia. Do you think this is what people really need right now? I have a guilty confession. I can't watch mainstream media 'news' anymore. Not a minute of it. I can only watch press conferences or breaking news clips. I feel like a Soviet dissident watching Pravda. The propaganda assault on the American people is relentless and disgusting.
