Oh come on! there is so much one sided bias (that can work both ways) with mainstream media. It feels like every newspaper has an agenda that pushes their own political interests/beliefs. The only daily paper that calls out the lies… be it tactfully, is the Independent but even with this paper there isn't anything like enough critical thinking necessary to stop people being brain washed. People honestly do become the regular paper they read!
Mainstream media are full of opinions without facts. Nothings transparent and when its not transparent, its readers aren't able to make choices. I could sit and read the Daily Mails political section and quickly point out its superficial inaccuracies and I can do the same with The Guardian but what's the point?

You're not seriously saying you believe everything you are told?

If you choose to align yourself with the popular story. If you choose to believe it and adopt it as truth, then you make yourself very safe in the context of society and tribal living. Its like religion. If you want to be able to put reason to everything then religion supplies you with that, whereas science doesn't.

Yours was a silly question because I don't speak or read Russian and therefore can only answer your question on the British angle.

The BBC? Sky News? Where? As you seem to know they are lies, inaccuracies, and just opinions, spill your 100% factual sources as I'd like to be in the know as well. |

Also stop reading the paper that just suits your agenda and polarizes your views. Just because the paper says what you want it to say, doesn't make it truth. Stop reading what sells because its bulked out with exaggeration and sensationalizing. Most national papers treat us like idiots with their alarmist rhetoric. In these modern times we have both neutral and factual information at our finger tips. Its easy enough to fact check.

I don't like Putin. I believe he's a thug and I believe his propaganda machine is worse than ours. But since Cameron took the throne we've been treating Russia (Putin) as the enemy. What happened in Ukraine was a reaction to EU expansion and although I still somewhat sit on the side of the EU and Washington, I fully understand why, when we encroached onto Russians Black Sea, there was a strong reaction from the Putin. Would the EU allow the UK to fall into Russian hands? Did Washington allow Cuba to align itself with Russia?!? What we were doing was weakening Russian borders. We now have NATO patrolling the Black Sea. Thats like Russia patrolling the English Channel!
As for Syria and the attempt to topple Assad. We aligned ourselves with Islamic jihadists and attempted to hand Syria over to Islamic State and we tried to do that, not because Assad is an evil dictator (which he possibly is) but because Syria aligns itself with Iran and Russia and had apposed a pipeline from the Gulf States to Europe. If there's one thing I would praise Trump for, it was his initial attempt to reduce tension between Putin and the West. Perhaps he naively believed he could stop this drive on a new Cold War with Russia.

Honestly Jet - could DRs posts get any more patronising and belittling.
If we don’t support Corbyn or mass migration we are allegedly all a bunch of uneducated drones. Getting really tiresome - but most of all, especially from her Point of few, it is unlikely to convert others to her way of thinking. Last edited by Brillopad; 24-03-2018 at 10:12 AM. |

Such a tone often stems from desperation - or alternatively is exactly how it comes across - as put-down, condescending garbage from those who see their views as more knowledgable. It is pompous nonsense in my opinion. |

To be honest.. I can understand the comparison, but as Foreign Secretary, surely Boris could use a more diplomatic tone
