MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin is indignant over the comments of a Fox News journalist who called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer” in an interview with President Donald Trump.
In the interview broadcast over the weekend Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly called the Russian leader “a killer.” Trump replied that the U.S. has killers, too.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on Trump’s reply but lashed out at Fox, calling O’Reilly’s remarks “unacceptable and offensive.”
“We would like to receive an apology to the president from this respected organization,” Peskov told reporters on Monday, referring to Fox News.
Trump has praised Putin and signaled that U.S.-Russia relations could be in for a makeover under his leadership. Putin in his turn spoke warmly of Trump.

Well, well. Isn’t this an unexpected turn of events? Billo hurt Putin’s fee-fees. Now, what will Billo do next? Act all puffed up with pride because he’s gotten international recognition? Hire a food taster? Renew his contract with ADT? Profusely apologize to Putin on the air, finishing by telling Vlad a box of Mary Sees is in priority mail to Moscow? Fascinating?
mm lets see. who will trumpf back on this one. tweedle dee or tweedle dumb?
Like they say…
“Follow the money”
It would be ironic if Bill O were the first US “journalist” to have to worry about violent reprisal from Russian operatives…
This is a prime example of what is called willful cultural ignorance.
(This is also a great place to drop a new word “Agnotology,” a practice of which FOX is a prime purveyor.)
