@ DamnDriver that type of behavior is common from the FOX corporation and its leader (Rupert Murdoch)

The type of behavior you call for requires a soul first...which FOX clearly lacks.

This is awful. Just nothing else to say. Had dinner once with Ruslan and he seemed like a genuinely good family guy.

Sad.
