who cant differentiate?
Mainstream media has trouble doing that too
including, dare I say, The Guardian
there is little distinction between news and opinion these days
its interesting though... the guardian lost huge numbers of readers, but started begging for donations and subscriptions from its core reader base... and although it haemorrhaged readers it actually increased its profits for the first time in decades
Guardian is about 50/50, but even the news is cast through such a partisan lens, it might as well be opinion
so theres no wonder its just heading more and more partisan
yeah I was going to say, there isn't just opinion and news, there's also cherrypicking too
I'd be sad if Guardian went under - they're a gold mine of lolcow-worthy articles
true
when theres a story... and you see its from independent, guardian, guido... you already know, without even knowing the details, what their side of the story will be about
Plus the Mail
Good luck getting @faultfiction to understand that, wacka
you could just write FF instead of tagging me Eccles
Where's the fun in that?
and you can see they will change depending on their core base too
like if you read guardian articles prior to early 2016 you will mainly see anti-EU articles
seriously?
wow
so what changed?
well, I guess the same thing that changed in the Labour party itself
that's when this shit seemed to kick off properly
actually it was about 2014
> like if you read guardian articles prior to early 2016 you will mainly see anti-EU articles
@wacka
wish there was a tinfoil hat emoji for this lmao
you think it's a conspiracy that the guardian changed?
Labour party has changed massively over the last 10 years
The Guardian obviously has changed because its in the nature of organisations to change. Not that it registes in this server.
They'd spent the preceding 35 years expunging the fuckwit communists and hardline socialists in order to make themselves vaguely electable, and now that's totally reversed
Labour party before that was centre-left globalist
Labour hasn't been proper Labour for like 20 odd years
Labour became centre-left globlist in the mid 90s
yeah
Labour was left-wing nationalist prior to that
But making up dumbfuck conspiracies of *pRiOr tO 2016 aKcTuAlLy dEy wRe aNtI Eu* is just laughable
based on what?
One guy tells you that and you lap it up
Are there some examples of Guardian articles then and now that illustrate this?
hardly surprising in this server
I'm not lapping it up, that's why I said "seriously?"
i'd like to see some articles
