“I honestly don’t even want to think about it that much because it’s not that important to me“Fraser continued of the Globes.”The good news is that they did something important in that broadcast that changed my thinking about them: they broadcast Zelensky. They let him off the stage, and that’s a strong statement and something I can stand by and stand behind“.
