There is only ONE truth to a truth though Ammi.
That truth can be presented in an article which is imbued with the author's own prejudices, but the kernel of that truth remains.
Take this thread topic for example;
It is BEYOND any refutation or denial, that these two immigrants burnt down the Asylum Centre - whether that fact is surrounded by perceived Right Wing anti-immigrant rhetoric in the Dail Mail, or Left Wing rhetoric in The Morning Star.
No ONE can deny that Thomas Mair murdered poor Jo Cox - no matter which source such a report hails from.
