The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

NewsMax has been around since at least the mid 2000s, so I'm not sure about this.
Aside from that, Trumpers probably think Tucker Carlson, along with a lot of Fox News, are Joe Scarboroughs or Shepherd Smiths in the making (a Joe Biden presidency is uniquely poised to attract reasonable people with a conservative disposition) and they need a new media outlet full of mean looking white people and a name that sounds like a nutritional supplement.

well, the Murdoch's put the kabosh on feeding Trump election conspiracies on all their news media--apparently they don't want the masses riled to the state of not trusting democracy--so the most fervent crazy Trumpkins have seriously revolted, and the older ones that don't do Parler have to have a place to go. Newsmax happy to fill the gap feeding Trump fans, is what Stelter is pointing out, among other things. And Trump has started to tweet them I noticed.
I even read an article that Murdoch was thinking of paying Trump off to go away--like $100M--some gossipy place like Vanity Fair, he's such a problem.
I figure that the Fox TV news demographic was getting so old anyways that they were starting to have to do something to get a different audience to sell to advertisers and this is just pushing them.
His Sky News is doing better without celeb talking head pundits and more "just news" with a conservative slant. a Gen X relative that is center right that doesn't like Trump but is pro some Trump policies like protectionism and cutting immigration told me the other ay he watches Australian Sky News cause he can't abide any of the American choices.

It's very real: Newsmax has found a business opportunity in feeding Trump supporters the baseless theory that the president could still win the election, Ben Smith writes.
