He names both companies and countries in his answer. A deal with Tim Apple might be as good as one with the penguins of the Heard and Mcdonald Islands.

I think that you are trying too hard to rationalize his statement. If you start with the assumption that he is lying, it is much easier to comprehend his statements.

Find an old "Liar's Club" skit from Saturday Night Live and you will see how closely they predicted Trump's behavior.

Big game for Forest this weekend.
The underdogs against the might of Manchester City.

Good luck.

Old Big Ead's spirit is rooting for them.

Yes the 24 hour news channels, social media, and comment sections are the best things to avoid.

Also the standard associate press stuff repeats itself with little insight.  The best sources are the ones you pay for that actually put on their thinking caps.

I avoid comment sections.

That's the trick. I have a couple of browser extensions that hide them, works pretty well.

Lemonde.fr hides them for non-subscribers which is perfect. 

Avoiding 24-hour news channels is easy, as well.
