O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[Trickytreesreds]

Nothing to do with ‘censorship’, TTR...much more to do with your repeated propaganda.
I can’t actually think of an instance where anyone you might describe as ‘left leaning’ on here has posted any sort of media link.
In fact I can’t think of anyone on here at all who regularly posts media links other than you.
Most of us make our own arguments and substantiate them where necessary by acknowledging the source.
Unfortunately, on virtually a daily basis, you continue to feed us the thoughts of the infantile Right by posting links to the Express, the Mail, YouTube and worse.
If I was advocating ‘censorship’ I’d say it shouldn’t be allowed...as it is, if I wanted to read utter bollux I’d buy the papers you delight in endlessly quoting, but I don’t and, as I said, I just wish you’d stop.

No problem RA, just never mention the BBC or Guardian again then(which you do), with their left wing bias and perpetual Tory bashing which you love.
Can't have it both ways sunshine.

You just don’t get it do you? Find me an example of when I’ve posted a link from the Guardian or the BBC and you’ll have I point.
I’ve never made a secret of the fact that I often read the Guardian (online) and that I admire the BBC. They, amongst others, help form my views.
What I don’t do is post extracts from them as you repeatedly do with every piece of anti EU, anti immigrant, anti Labour ‘journalism’ you can find.

Saves him rewriting it and claiming it as original thought though, doesn't it? My understanding of forum rules of old is that its better to post links and acknowledge source than plagiarising it as original thought. Which on of the incarnations of R4J was it that gor banned for this offence?

Not only do you not get it, you also make up stuff, how have I passed it off as original thought? Plus you were wrong, the particular piece you claimed was plagiarised, wasn't, it was a mixture of different sources albeit the original article formed the basis.

AS for Thicky being allowed to post on here, how much clearly false news and xenophonic, racist and bigoted opinions do you allow before time is called? Thats not censorship, just applying a modicum of sensible editorship. I'm sure there are plenty of online Forums where he could spout his bilge

In the sane world he would be recognised for the idiot he is, but it seems there are sympathisers with his views which is telling.

Thicky doesn't get it full stop. Anyone parroting a right wing trope about the BBC having left wing bias - an idea that I actually debunked a long time ago and which even a modicum of research would show isn't factual. I mean they are so left wing, Corbyn supporters are taking legal action FFS! Is frankly lost in their own world.

As for the Guardian well doubt Thicky could read it, words of more than one syllable are difficult for him, whereas dog whistle fake news he laps up and regurgitates as if its gospel! But one has to feel sad for him really, like those disappointed Trump supporters who stormed the capital, one day he will perhaps realise that those he thinks have his interests at heart don't actual give a ****, they just see such people as useful idiots!

Funnily enough there is a lot in both media that I disagree with, but I do at least trust most of what they report as reasonably factual, however I'm not simple enough to believe it all. And those articles or programmes not to my taste or at odds with my views, do at least serve the purpose of challenging ones views and making one think.
