O/T:- Media Bias

Newish Pie, I wonder if your views on the matter would be different, if he hadn't 'headed off into the crank wilderness spouting nonsense to the gullible', as you see it.

Makes you wonder if his anti-vax/ufo/media corruption and censorship and deep state, etc, views that he seems to have held in recent years plus the income and audience that they have brought him did have any bearing on these "sudden revelations", that have been whispered about for some time now?

Nahhhhh, that's just a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy theorist, innitt?

I remember Brand gate-crashing a MOTD interview with Sam Allardyce, grabbing him around the neck and planting a great big sloppy kiss on his cheek. He doesn't strike me as somebody who particularly respects other people's personal space - you'd have to be very brazen to go that far with Big Sam - so it wouldn't surprise me if the allegations have at least some degree of truth to them.

The timing of this however, years after #metoo and #yewtree, is very interesting and it does look like a co-ordinated attack on low hanging fruit, to serve as a warning to others to keep their mouths shut.

Extra weight would be given to this theory if, as some are predicting, the dark forces of power and corruption were to engage in another round of authoritarian measures sooner rather than later, or if problems are now beginning to emerge that are too great to ignore but can and must only be explained by "trusted" sources.

Having just watched Russell Brand's latest video on YouTube, I can't help thinking it's a case of the right concerns being raised by the wrong person!

No, they'd be identical.
