"left-wing fascist"....That'll keep the Oxbridge debates going for some time.

Mussolini was a socialist originally.

Fascist in the sense of authoritarian and ant-free speech is absolutely them.

So let me get this right this free speech thing. So am I right in saying that suppressed groups have a right to complain about their lot. And I and others have a right to defend these minority groups? That would include a lot of socialists I would think. Have the BBC got a right then to spout left wing views which in your opinion they have. So what are you moaning about everyone is having their say as you are saying they should.

When have I advanced a “far left” argument? Please let me know.

I think all of us are a product of what news sources we gravitate to and that they inevitably influence the way people think and form opinions. To deny that is naïve. But the important thing is to be aware of this happening and making every effort to scrutinise even your preferred news agencies. I think I do that as well as is possible but am only human. I get most news from The Guardian as I like that they have a range of perspectives but they are overwhelmingly, and sometimes insufferably biased towards centre left and pro remain.

BBC – I would agree with the Media Bias Fact Check that they are centre left with general new stories (alluding to what gets up Fire’s rosy nose) but with a centre right bias in general news/economics/party political content and coverage. Not much in either though and have no grumbles about their output.

But as I have a friend who is relentlessly ‘converted’ to the far right cause, and as such uses the same speech and language patterns as Fire, IBS and Gristy when they argue their cause I have long taken interest in looking at their ‘research sites’ that back up such views. Let’s just say that such minds think very alike!

Did media bias fact check say that the BBC were centre right on general news?

"Freeze peach" is for fascists didn't you know?

The "anti-fascists" say so.

Whoever it actually was who originally said "The Fascists of the Future Will Call Themselves Anti-Fascists" was absolutely correct.

They also said The Morning Star who publish articles about how great North Korea is and how the North Koreans are all happy and free and well-fed is "highly factual".

They need fact checking themselves.

[EasyAndEarly]

I'm glad someone mentioned that - I need some Anti-Fascist in my radiator.

[ragingpup]

Can you link me to the Morning Star article that argued how great North Korea is relative to other countries and/or their comparative happiness ratings?
