Anyone else interested in Andrew Neil's GB News?
I am really excited to see that the MSM have something new going against them as lets face it the media are very left wing.
It is about time that we had some journalism that shows balance to all politicians regardless of who they are rather than the abysmal and out of control bias that we get from the BBC that simply attacks the government without giving them a chance to answer and then gets the leader of the opposition unlimited airtime.
I think that this could be the revolution that we need in the media and the fact that the left are already attacking it shows that we could be on to a winner here!

How the **** can the brittish news media be left-winged when the ****ing Rubert "I own Fox News and Sky Network, bitches" Murdoch owns most of the biggest news outlets in the country?
Edit: I have missed that he's sold his shares in Sky completely in 2018.

I don't bother with any legacy media. It's for intellectually lazy folk.
If this new network brings some balance back to the spectrum, then that can only be good.

I caught something about it the other day, about restricting something, wasnt really able to listen properly.
Seems they tried something similar with Sky News once. Although Sky are biased anyway.
The left wing is out of control in the UK now. As in USA too.
I have noticed that the Guardian are trying to pick it apart and somehow think that it is going to be 'far right' which is ironic as they are leaning very left wing or at least they support the woke views. If GB News has them rattled then that is a good start I think

The Guardian is absolute trash. I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it. It's written by privileged, out of touch, soy latte drinking, metropolitan wankers that have never traveled further than Watford.

I still wonder why this discussion is happening here? I thought the values behind happy hardcore is far more lefty than you guys ever appear to agree on?

I still wonder why you keep commenting in political threads. You are beyond clueless. Conflating far left marxist ideology with Happy Hardcore values. You say some bizarre things but that's pretty out there even for you.
You don't understand political positions, shifts, overton window etc. Stick to your original intention from the US Election thread. Quote below.

This place would be far much better off without any kind of political discussion. Heck, you've already driven away at least 2 mainstay here with your attitude, and I even heard you had the audacity to ask to become a moderator here...
Not to even mention you attitude for anyone (not only me) trying to help you IDing tracks. I'm also waiting for at least 2 thanks from you, but considering this post here, I doubt I'll ever see a thank you now.
Or you constant topic digging you did a year a go to increase your posting count.

Seeing someone jump to "far left marxist ideology" just from seeing the word "lefty" then trying to sound like they're politically literate because they were able to list literally the most basic political terms is all the entertainment I needed for day. The irony is not lost on me. Thank you.

1. That's not my problem. I can't help it that people get hurt feelings over words on the internet.
2. I offered to help. You've already brought this up before in other threads when you're in meltdown.
3. On the rare occasion you manage to ID a track, you have been thanked. Don't tell lies.
4. I used to post random stuff for a laugh, so what? I got bored of doing it.
You were even told in the US Election thread by members that you have no idea what you are talking about. Again, that is true in this thread, but feel free to deflect and moan about me instead of debating your half baked ideas.
If there is one thing I do agree with, it's that it would be better off without political posts, hence me never starting any political threads. You can thank Smoogie for that. But, until there is a ban on them and/or people decide not to start them, I will continue to have conversations in them.

I think there is every right to discuss politics here, it's called general chat, and politics is something that gets discussed a lot.
But there is nothing similar between the left and Happy Hardcore. Rave is an anti-establishment attitude, whole point of it was to get away from all things political. Hardly a left wing view at all.
