Has the Guardian become the 'liberal' Fox News?

Post by UGagain »

Russia ‘stoking refugee unrest in Germany to topple Angela Merkel’

Just when I thought they'd scraped the bottom of their Russophobic barrel. Astonishingly asinine.
As for the maths. There are mathematic 'theories' on both sides, they are not the same as mathematical facts. I asked for maths.

I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

What's asinine? That there is an "expert" who says such a thing or that they should report it?

Dominic Sandbrook is clearly angling for a job at the Graun!

It's no surprise that there are fascist Russophobic loons working for NATO in Eastern Europe. But this guy is particularly fruity.

That the Grauniad should do 2 articles on this 'report' is asinine. It's not even vaguely good propaganda.

Haven't checked either link...but the Guardian has gone downhill somewhat rotten. It's all preaching the socialist candidates - either Corbyn or Sanders - cannot win, so vote for Hillary or go feck yourself. Insanity.

With the Indy going, will there be a balanced paper left?

When you say balanced, you mean conforming to your own particular prejudices, right?

I got as far as reading that they don't know the difference between sowing division and sewing division before I stopped.

Suggesting someone is not worth voting for simply because they are not electable is not presenting a balanced view...

If I, someone who is interested, has to dig for information on the differences between the candidates, then what will an average joe think? Will they bother to trawl through other sources? No. So by repeating the view that certain politicians are unelectable, the Guardian are misleading their readership. They are failing to provide the facts. This from a newspaper that won a Pulitzer for public service...

I just want a bit more reporting of facts and a bit less repeating of nonsense.
