Tucker, who I do like personally, because he touches the stuff others in the MSM dare not touch.

And he don't like Chy-na. In fact anti Chy-na sentiment globally is through the roof.

According to your metric, FOX News is the Rolls Royce in news.

Now that we have established that FOX News meets your approval, I can now post 100 video sources saying exactly the same things about WHO as all my other sources.

Fox News is also legit… I may not agree with them but they are licensed and accountable, so they do satisfy my basic prerequisites as a “mouthpiece”.

So as you can see we already have a mountain of differing BUT LEGITIMATE news to go through every day, without introducing YouTube JUNK NEWS into the equation!

So can we just stick to legit news networks?



What makes Australia one of the greatest countries in the world is it’s free press.

What makes the US the greatest country in the world in terms of Freedom of Press, HR and complete plurality, is its Bill of Rights.

We ALLOW all your vitriolic sources which you use to peddle the conspiracy that this is a US BIO attack. In Russia, anyone who does this will just disappear.

I don’t need your approval.

And all your sources pointing to a US conspiracy do not pass your benchmarks sadly for you.

You see Get Real, the last thing we want is for someone like yourself telling us here in Australia or the US what is legit and what isn’t.

Now as to you not agreeing with Fox News? Did you know this is an Australian owned company. Just like Sky News and so many others? Fuck we are a superpower! :D An empire that started in little ADELAIDE.

No wonder Trump loves Australia.

They have no physical address or phone number (uncontactable and unanswerable), they don’t employ journalists, no satellite broadcasting, not a dollar in overheads, yet they have deceptive names and logos such as... “Asia Today” ...and similar!

That really fucking annoys me because it’s purely 2c propaganda!

Oh and almost always it’s a “colorful” announcer/presenter (dual-citizen) to reflect the targeted country, but with a PERFECT American accent! :lol:


Your anti Americanism is pathological.

You really do need to build a bridge and get over it.

What does it matter if they have American accents? Are you saying there are no good journalists with American accents? What does that have to do with it?

I for one love the American accent. It’s just something different. But their biggest asset is the people. No better people anywhere in the world as far as I am concerned. Yes they DO put us Cypriots to shame.

There is no better way than to do business like they do. I seen it in Aviation where they are just very practical pilots and engineers. And professional. And also extremely nurturing to new comers with top notch mentoring and support.

I had my life all planned out Get Real before this shitty Chy-na Virus put things on hold. Even have the VISA taking a full page of my passport with permanent residency.

Even the Mrs just picked up the phone to a Major US network to speak to her contacts and was promised a job in the big league. So an Australian accent to compliment the many American accents. Does that make them more legit?

You see, while we are all capable of vitriol and utter nonsense, the Americans have an aura of innocence about them. Almost a certain level of naivity. They wouldn’t even be able to point at Cyprus on the map and when you tell them they want to learn more and more.

If they read your posts, they would just laugh it of and also be intrigued by it. But here is the kicker. They wouldn’t stoop to your level of insult. Even though you show a clear hatred towards them. It’s a very rare thing for an American to criticize other countries.

I so hope this shit is all over, and that you move to the US Paphitis ASAP, because it’s going to be the greatest eye-opener you’ve ever had and so badly need!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

And for my other nasty wish… I also hope you burn your bridges so that you may remain in the US forever!

I can’t think of a worse punishment for you Paphitis! :lol:

Well Get Real. Let me tell you something.

I met my wife in New York. I was sitting at a table having lunch in Astoria and there she was at the table next to me with her God Sister that has lived in New York for years. At the time, I was in Canada for a 6 month deployment. She lived in the US for over a year.

We have already had the eye opener. And let me tell you, we both loved it. New York is a wonderful city. IS in general is wonderful although my preference is for the West Coast (California mainly).

My wife is New York mad. Some people just can’t get away from New York. My wife is one of those people that is addicted and has New York in her blood.

Whilst it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I’m happy to report to you there really isn’t any city in the world like New York.

Paphitis, if Astoria impressed you, what can I say… you’d even fit right into Detroit! Fewer Greeks but same lifestyle! :lol:

I never said Astoria impressed me. Even though it is one of the most sort after suburbs today because you can catch the underground and in 1 stop you are in Manhattan.

Literally, you feel like you are in the center of the universe. But all of New York is nice. Queens, Jamaica, White Stone and so on.

Depends on how you want to live. Astoria and inwards you are looking at a small condo or apartment. In other parts of Queens, you can buy a normal 3 bedroom house with land and at much better value for money.

I myself always wanted to own a traditional New Yorker. Smaller but much more closer to where the action is.

If you can afford it, you would go to Manhattan but be prepared for nothing under 2 million. Wife’s God Sister lives in Astoria. And that is a very convenient spot. Wifes best friend is in Tribeca, Manhattan where the Kennedy family lived.

Your Australian dollar will dwindle and you’ll probably struggle to buy a home in Astoria (read wooden shack instead of home) let alone anywhere else… you know in America you need shitloads of money to get next to nothing in return!

And I’ll be right here enjoying the popcorn… :)

Australian dollar is actually 16% up on the US dollar.

Which is great for buying property.

Dwindling dollar is great for me also since I will be darling USD. That means I can buy more AUD.

Sadly though, the AUD is considered to be the new global safe haven. Trillions of dollars are trickling into the Australian market by institutions like banks and pension funds. The reason for that is that international markets are perceiving Australia to be the first country to open its economy and one of the only countries that have managed to control Chy-na Virus.

That was according to last nights business report on Australian TV.

If the Australian dollar reaches parity, it’s time to buy property. When it dwindles it’s time to buy AUD. You literally got a win win Get Real. I can’t believe a person of your intelligence doesn’t have this financial acumen.

Oh btw, you are incorrect about needing shot loads of money.

Tax is lower than Australia by a significant amount for starters. Utilities and groceries are cheaper. Clothing and electronics are also cheaper.

Property in the US is also cheaper than most Australian Capital cities.

But it depends where you want to live. If you want to live in Manhattan, you will need a lot of money to buy even an apartment. If you buy in Queens, that it’s about on par with Australia. If you go further out, it’s cheaper than Australia. If you go to Jersey, it’s cheaper again.

I’ve been watching the market over there. Home ownership isn’t an unrealistic prospect.
