The Guardian is funny.

interesting stuff..

sorry, wrong thread

So why do you read it Eternal????

I think it's important to get information from a variety of sources ebul. This particular article was raised by someone else on another thread and so I checked it out.

Cologne is the number 1 most viewed report on their website but the only one of the top 10 not open for comments.

There's a surprise.

I think we get it.

Right-wingers hate The Guardian and The BBC

Left-Wingers hate The Daily Mail and The BBC

Most clued up adults understand that any media they 'consume' (Christ what a word!) is stuffed full of hidden agenda's, thought control and 'feel this way about things' messages and before you go anywhere for 'The Truth' your bullsh1t detectors should be set to eleven.

The "GUARDIAN" ...**** Newspaper, infested with Mussies and Lefties.
Only ever bought it once (Job Hunting) ...never again..urghhhhh it's horible !

Very true roger.
Newspapers are actually in it to make money and they have no real duty, though they should have, to provide unbiased, unadulterated news.
Nearly all media exists just to sell advertising.

not sure about that studyform, a lot of media are big money losers and have no profitability, the new york times, al jazeera, the bbc, cnn, msnbc, loads of internet media propped up by the likes of george soros. often these groups are based around pushing an ideology, they don't make money, they cost money, be it from oilrich arabs or the licence fees of poverty stricken pensioners.

I think that's why freedom of speech is so vitally important.

Get ideas out there, understand where protagonists are coming from, debate their intentions as well as what they write / say and you probably end up with the truth being somewhere in the middle.

but the guardian rarely lets you!!!

SKYISLAM did a job of barrage and have clamped down on 'don't mention muslims'

Look at the job they do on corbyn too

Last night we had that lbc creep and good old jaqui smith (rememeber the expenses thingy - she was home sec under labour too?)
The segment was by far the longest as they laughed and joked and chopped him up for mincemeat. The best bit was when the fkn woman presenter joined in
with hain's dismantling of corbyn in the spectator etc  --Wht the fk was she doing joining in the massacre.
The point I am making is they have an agenda - if it was muslims then it would be 30 secs and don't mention violence or naughtiness. My other point is - 3 slashing corbyn to bits but no challenge to what they are saying.  Do you see??  But this and other issues are regularly brought out and it is nearly always pro establishment and westminster or claret drinking notting hill thinking.

at the end of the Papers section they had 30 secs of cologne where smith sat strangely silent but when they had the ramadam school thing on she was all for it and singing its praises    YET AGAIN IT REMAINS COMPLETELY UNCHALLENGED AND TOTALLY BIASED ONE WAY.

SKYSLAM DID A JOB ON BARRAGE (farage)

at least when al jazeera have a debate they usually get one shia, one sunni and a yank or brit - all three then have a go. SKYISLAM seem to have only one editorial agenda.

this guy should be hauled over the coals

musu okwonga from jk rowlings piece on the assaults in germany

In Berlin, where I live, the overwhelming majority of black men you see every day are poor, homeless, or selling drugs by Görlitzer Bahnhof or Warschauer Strasse, two of the city’s busier train stations. And when I say the overwhelming majority, I would say something like 80%, if not more,” he writes.
