Can't believe this is still going, I took my bow yesterday.
Just a side note I like reading Peter Hitchens makes a lot of sense to me, the others in the paper I don't read much.
Some find it hard accepting other peoples opinion on politics, it's just a waste of time really.

We are our own prejudices wherever they come from.
Seems that's the likes of Cambridge Analytica these days I agree Rev.
We are all conditioned from birth by our Environment.

The thing is he's not alone.
Plenty of us have recognised the media agenda, seems there are plenty of Journos even from the opposite press agree.

I could link plenty of articles saying the same thing but though one from the mail might have more resonance for certain posters.
I'm surprised by where some of the backlash against Corbyns treatment is coming from. Quite a bit from people who don't like him or his policies but I think people are getting sick of the agenda driven bullshit and want the media to just report the facts and let them make their own mind up.

I think it's a good thing that we can mostly debate as adults and I think politics will always mean that we are going to challenge each others' opinions. While I disagree with the politics of some on here, I'd happily buy them a beer as despite the fact that they are wrong ;) they are good people.

I am happy to debate with anyone on any matter as ling as they don't contradict themselves or start name calling.

One that happens is saying certain news outlets shouldn't be used or believed. But as soon as one of them outlets says what they want them to they quote it. As in you can't use it but I can. And how can they find an article in something they don't read?

Yes some people would love the papers to forget Corbyns past.

Plenty of right wingers defending him. And if Corbyns past needs a light shining on it then what is the need to make shit up?

Peter Hitchens isn’t - contrary to the ignorant view - a right winger.

the Czech spy story.
The BBC photo shopped studio back drop which seemed to have got a lot of peoples backs up.

The Czec spy story is true. Corbyn didn't know he was a spy. It is all old news.

Yes the BBC put a picture of Corbyn on a background to make him look like a Russian bitch. It was the wrong thing to do from an organisation that is supposed to be unbiased. But far worse bullshit has gone on. I have had enough of the bullshit from all sides.

Mr Corbyn sitting on the floor on a train? They was made up wasn’t it?

I’m sure Mr Corbyn was approached by the Czech secret service by the way.

To those arguing against Corbyn because of allegations related to his past with the IRA. Would you vote for him if these allegations didn't exist? If the answer is no then it looks as though the issue is constantly bought up because of an inability to attack him on policies compared with the shambles in power at the moment.

Your obviously not old enough to remember their atrocities in the 70's and 80's

Well as Clint quoted Peter Hitchens I’m pretty sure he was as Mr Hitchens wrote in detail the other week how in the 80’s he was approached.

Yes I agree mostly with that. Still got called a moron, told to grow up and also I must have a chip on my shoulder, just for expressing my opinion.
When people say Corbyn did this and did that way back yonder, I need proof and not just hearsay. What's said in an unminuted meeting is just that.
Anyway hate politics and the shitfest that surrounds it. I vote for the parties closest to my own views and have in the past voted for all the three main parties. At the moment the conservatives lie theclosest to how I feel .
I'm what is called a floating voter, but have for the last three elections voted blue

*sigh*

Again, the DM and the MoS have different editors and a different editorial slant. Will people stop using the MoS as proof the DM isn’t a shit rag?

It’d be like posting a Times article to prove the Sun isn’t garbage.

Exactly.

Look back at who has been saying so.

They're both owned by non domiciled (for tax avoidance purposes) Lord Rothermere who the editors of both the DM and MoS seek to appease with their editorial line. Unsurprisingly, that means that Corbyn with his awful ideas about progressive taxation is not popular with either title.

(Think we're making the same point actually)

I wonder if this was photoshopped too?

Makes me laugh all those having a go at Corbyn seem to ignore stuff like 160K being paid to the Tories by an oligarch's wife to play tennis with him. Imagine if Corbyn had done that....

The difference is that Corbyn is one step away from being the PM. And I don't trust any of them even when they don't have a dodgy past like Corbyn.
