RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA

  1. What else would you call a newspaper which demands - and praises - American wars and calls for the internment of innocent people?
     
  2. The Guardian is considered, by & large, to be a left-wing newspaper. Obviously, you're so far out there on the left-wing spectrum that you probably find the Socialist monthly magazine to be right-wing.

    The guardian is the most left-wing mainstream newspaper I've ever seen. :56:

  4. You didn't answer my question.

    And incidentally, those who "by and large" consider the Guardian to be "left-wing" are the little Billy Britain types who regularly consume the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Telegraph etc. and consider anything to the left of Norman Tebitt as communism.

    Let me guess... the BBC is "left-wing" too.
     
  5. For a far-right Zionist supremacist, that is hardly surprising.
     
  6. No, the BBC certainly isn't left-wing, but the Guardian is.
     
  7. What made it more left-wing?

    Cheering on mass murderer Clinton? Approving the NATO war crimes against Serbia? Celebrating the destruction of Libya? Demanding air strikes in Syria? Calling for the nationalist population of the six counties to be detained without trial?

    Well said.
     
  9. Just because their beliefs aren't as far, far, far left as yours doesn't mean they aren't generally considered left-wing by most.

    Like I said, I'd probably struggle to find a publication that you'd consider left-wing, but that's because you appear to be a bit of a "far left by numbers" type from what I;ve read so far on this forum.
     
  10. Opposition to detention without trial is now far left?

    Jesus.
     
  11. Not that one thing, your general posting style. Feel free to cherrypick if it helps though.

    "Far-right Zionist supremacist" what in the world are you talking about? :56:
     
  13. Oh I see, it's "left-wing" if you ignore all the hard-right positions.
     
    You know how you get those far-right lunatics who talk gibberish and bang on about "Muslamic ray guns" and the sort? Well, I think our man here is basically at the other end of the mentalist spectrum. He's the other cheek of the same ranting, frothy-mouthed *.

  14. You're telling me that you honestly think the Guardian newspaper is hard-right?
     
  15. I've already told you why I don't regard the Guardian as left-wing.

    Whether it be the hawkish militarism or the neo-liberal economic sentiments (Brexit is bad cause big multinationals might leave London)

    But if you are so adamant that it is, then I'd like to see examples of these credentials.
     
  16. The irony of that statement while having a Palestinian flag for an avatar would appear to be lost on you.
     
  17. You can find examples of these credentials by visiting their website on any given day. The Guardian is, for the most part, an excellent newspaper.

    The thing is, you believing that the Guardian is right-wing is a bit like a raving loony BNP supporter telling me that the Daily Mail is left-wing.

    Just because it sits to the right of your seemingly insane political compass doesn't make it so I'm afraid.
     
  18. Err... what?
     
  19. That will be a no then.
