Please Note. CRTV is not a parody site by a long shot.

A video was just posted from an outfit called CRTV - but removed (by admin ?) before I could tack down their web info and was able to post their bio info.

The original poster and a later commenter identified the video as a parody of a satirical nature. It was not satire - CRTV is a new extreme Right wing propaganda site on the web.

Please familiarize yourself with this group and be aware they are the new kids on the block for disseminating Fascist propaganda, they are geared to a younger audience.

Background info CRTV
(begin snip)

The Conservative Review is an American news media company founded by conservative political commentator and radio personality Mark Levin, who serves as its current editor-in-chief. The company's stated goal is to "provide conservative voters with a reliable source of information on the nature of federal officeholders and candidates for federal office."[citation needed]

In October 2016, Conservative Review launched CRTV, an online television network, with shows by Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Steven Crowder, Mark Steyn, Gavin McInnes, Steve Deace,[1] and Matt Kibbe.[2] Steyn's show was canceled in February 2017.[3] Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson joined the lineup in October 2017.[4] Eric Bolling joined the lineup in summer 2018.[5]

Comment: a nasty line up of contributors, note Gavin McInnes the founder of the hyper violent "Proud Boys" - Fascist thugs gang.

Russia geopolitics - dilemma of being landlocked.

(snip)
Russia’s access to the world’s oceans, aside from the Arctic, is also limited. What access it does have is blocked by other countries, which can be seen through the map below.

European Russia has three potential points from which to access global maritime trade. One is through the Black Sea and the Bosporus, a narrow waterway controlled by Turkey that can easily be closed to Russia. Another is from St. Petersburg, where ships can sail through Danish waters, but this passageway can also be easily blocked. The third is the long Artic Ocean route, starting from Murmansk and then extending through the gaps between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.

Anderson Cooper's Stormy Daniels interview draws highest ratings for '60 Minutes' in 10 years

(begin snip)

By CNN Media
By Brian Stelter March 26, 2018: 1:54 PM ET
Anderson Cooper's interview with Stormy Daniels propelled "60 Minutes" to its highest-rated episode in 10 years.

The CBS newsmagazine averaged 22.1 million viewers for Sunday's show, according to Nielsen, which is more than twice as many viewers than a typical edition of the show.

(The preliminary viewer number was 21.3 million, but the total ticked up a bit when same-day DVR viewership was factored in.)

Ivanka Trump: Born to legitimize corruption and make the shoddy look cute

Source: Los Angeles Times

If it’s the coverup and not the crime that will ultimately bring down the Trump syndicate, Ivanka may turn out to be the point person for its demise.

The enabler sector now boasts several household names. Among them are the lobbyist and onetime Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who has been indicted for financial crimes; and Trump's favorite child, Ivanka, who holds an indeterminate public-facing position in the White House — or in real estate, or maybe fashion.

Princess Ivanka has lots of dirt and corruption under her finger nails.

Out goes Sessions - in comes Pruitt.....

The good German (Pruitt) is moved from EPA over to DOJ Atty Gen. - sessions is shown the door.

(snip)

Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has told friends and associates that he’s interested in becoming attorney general, according to three people familiar with the internal discussions.

With rumors swirling that Jeff Sessions could depart the administration and two members of the House Freedom Caucus calling on the former Alabama senator to resign, Pruitt is quietly positioning himself as a possible candidate for the job.
