The news in brief 19th April 2016

Today’s news in brief

Listen up fucknuggets, we are the last people to support Baron Von Trump, mostly because we don't want one of the most powerful economies and one of the most formidable militaries in the world in the hands of a wild-eyed madman who’s entire manifesto seems to be ‘Yeah America!’

But, cheap point scoring isn't how the good guys win. Yeah he said 7/11 when he meant to say 9/11, yeah that is kinda funny because to the best of my knowledge a thirty-ounce soda has never hijacked a plane, but it was a slip of the tongue and we went on to talk about the selfless heroism of the construction workers and first-responders at Ground Zero.

He was talking about the Spirit of New York and for better or worse there's no separating the indomitable spirit of New Yorkers from the devastating terror attacks and their aftermath.

So why not leave the sarcastic remarks to the professionals and go back to reporting important stuff?
