‘What Would You Do If We Asked You To Lie?’ Sputnik Fired Writer Over Seth Rich Story
By way of introduction, allow us to say definitively that this is how Russian-backed and Kremlin-affiliated propaganda portals work pretty much across the board.
They masquerade as legitimate news outlets but the people in charge know full well that what they're printing is misleading or, in some cases, outright lies.

On a matter related to HR, I’m unable view HR comments on my iPhone or iPad, and can only see them on my desktop. Can you view the comments

Marty, I remember “whacking” him as you put it – because he made no comment to an article but made sure we had the link to his blog or something like that. My ‘Huh’ comment today is not in reference to my prior comment to him — ‘Huh’ today is the link he added today — when I try the link it only goes to his log-in page and not the article: “Here is an observation on today’s Journalism from my blog posted 8 days ago”. I was gonna give him a second chance and read it but I guess I won’t. Are you able to find the blog he linked or do you also get the dead-end?
Regarding viewing he HR comments — I am on desktop only — maybe someone else will answer that for you.
