Yes I read the context ...someone was moaning about the amount of coverage Farage was getting on main stream media and you chipped in to say the BBC has a right wing bias.

I'm sure, being your usual disingenuous self, you will claim this was merely an observation and not you joining in on a moan about the MSM
 
Personally I don't care if GB News is 'right wing ' biased as long as they maintain something approaching the levels of rigour and challenge that Andrew Neil has displayed on multiple occasions when interviewing politicians of all sorts of different stripes.

Unlikely to be worse than the sort of garbage news outlet that would put this out as an opinion piece.

It is useful to explain why it is possible for white people to experience individual prejudice and unpleasant behaviour simply based on the colour of their skin but why it is inaccurate to call that “racism”

Calm down people. I'll be banging heads together if you misbehave in a way that threatens the thread's existence.

I'll definitely be tuning in tonight.

I agree with your first sentence.

The second sentence could just as easily cite the Mail or the Express if you're going to talk about articles that are 1% factual and 99% hyperbole. 'opinion' pieces are just that, they don't really have any place in any news company.

Any chance it has the bird on the right??
 
I wonder what the number of viewers has to be for something to be 'MSM'.

Surely at some point GB News will be considered 'MSM', but I'm guessing that's okay because it'll appeal to the right wing loon views?
 
There's no such thing as MSN, not really. It's just a term that people with extreme views like to band about when they don't agree with something.
 
The usual outcomes here, why expect anything else lol.
Why does it always turn into an insult/slagging match and no one can discuss why they think this and that, while the other person doesn't instantly
go on the offensive? Check the picture I posted in the random image thread ;)
 
Just the reaction to the fact it even exists from some people is enough reason in itself to support it's existence.

Plenty of tweets like this on twitter for example, surprisingly this one doesn't have pronouns in bio, does have BLM, FBPE etc.. though:


Some more here, couple of them want a full list of advertisers:



 
GB News is setting itself up in opposition to something that doesn’t exist: a left dominated UK media. Strong start on the honesty and integrity front.

All this culture war nonsense is driven by certain media outlets massively blowing non stories about minority views out of proportion so they can rail against them. It’s such a transparent ploy but it seems to sucker in plenty of people.
 
It would be a better nicer world if we had a party that took the best policies from left and right (does that mean centre, i'm not sure?)
You can't make a nice salad with just Lettuce alone can you, and some people like beetroot and some hate it, but does that mean we just shouldn't have it as an option?
 
So much fragility in one thread. And it's the woke who are quick to be offended :p
 
I'm not entirely sure what 'woke' is supposed to mean.. It seems like it's intended as a generic 'anyone with an opinion' political slur of some kind.
