Right, well at least hey have Fox for balance. Our's in not left and even the left is centrist.

An interesting debate but for me Harker presented a better argument. I feel his viewpoint was more balanced.

'Mair’s guidance came from inside his head. '

This is not true, his home was found to contain all manner of far right literature and subscribed to far right magazines/ online groups.

Another female MP was due to be murdered, who are these people and why can't the 22yr old involved be named?...


An alleged neo-Nazi has appeared in court charged with plotting to murder a Labour MP with a machete.

The 22-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with preparing an act of terrorism by allegedly buying a “Gladius Machete” – a type of weapon used by Celtic tribes and Roman legions – for the purpose of murdering Rosie Cooper.

The defendant, from Lancashire, is also accused of making threats to kill a female police officer.

It's the motive that's alleged, he's been charged with the offence.

Just to add to this briefly, from what I've seen of the US media, it really isn't "left leaning" at all. It's essentially the "Democrat media" with only Fox leaning "Republican". The mainstream media in the US is pretty much dead centre, leaning slightly to either side on various issues. Fox is harder right / Republican and that gives the impression that the rest is "Left", but really what it is is "Left compared to Republican"... it's not in any meaningful way left of centre.

Just to add some balance to this, the media take a very dim view of the BNP and its variants, they have many a time called out the behaviour of UKIP, all right wing motivated political organisations. They dont call ISIS attackers terrorists until they are sure that it is a terrorist event. One also has to consider the scale, and the frequency of potential attacks when considering it in the context of media attention. It's way to simplistic and actually incorrect to say that the media do not report like for like incidents consistently.

This graphic is scarily close to my reading habits ...

Except our local is pretty good though. We can get the basic news without feeling pulled as much emotionally either direction... (at least until it gets into the criminal justice stuff...)... except the Chron. Very left, but they do a good job of holding the local govt accountable.



Just No. is me anytime I end up at Breitbart. I read a bit but then have to avert my eyes. I don't consider InfoWars to be news at all... Alex Jones reminds me too much of a 3AM infomercial guy, except he sells weird things like goat sperm that will make men's penises grow super strong or some other barely FDA approved cheap crap...

When it comes to right news in the US, you kind of have to go to the "unknown"... and a lot of folk don't regard them as "mainstream"... because atm, mainstream is only big enough for the northeast coast/California/DC bureaucrats... they don't regard Fox News very well either...

It's a tabloid, I'd say basically all of them fall into that category (on either left or right).
