Can't say I'm surprised! Not much protection in a bikini.

I'm not a great fan of the MSM. I take everything they say with a pinch
of salt to be honest as I and others have caught them out with blatant
and shameless lying on important issues far too often. I'd have to be the
world's biggest mug to place any faith in newspapers and TV.

Thats not necessarily reliable news. Few of those have
what it takes to be able to gather all news for themselves,
particularly with an event as unimportant as that one.

"If you do not read the mainstream media you are ill-informed

The point is that the mainstream media are the worst places to get facts
from.

They make their living out of advertising and PR. They are paid by large
globalist companies, or by government franchise in the case of the BBC,
to publish what is useful for those people to have you believe.

That you cite them as an authority, and seem to believe that argument
from authority carries weight, is merely and indication of how
dangerously naïve you really are.

People like you should not be allowed to vote.

Doesn't that depend on how you know whatever you know ?

No they aren't. There are far worse places just follow some of Harrys links.

And subscriptions but I'm not sure to what degree.

globalist companies, or by government franchise in the case of the BBC,

Some are, but it does depend on many things, and it unfortunatly requres the use of a brain (both right and left sides) while reading anything mainstream or non mainstream.

Today there was a tv on where I went to look at the heating. It was the BBC explaining how having right wing views directly resulted in hate crimes. Weird that any grown up would take such nonsense seriously - I guess some folk simply have no critical thinking ability.

I don't agree on voting rights though. Any system that excludes anyone ends up excluding the wrong people. And some people lose basic rights as they have no ability to say NO to those in power. These are precisely why we let everyone vote.

I won't mention prisoners for now.

If you use a range, across politics and location, you'll generally end
up in the right ballpark.

What I don't understand is where you/yours get the information that in
turn informs your opinion. It's clearly not books or science - inherent
bias, you seem to insist. It seems to be a combination of hard code,
anecdote and following a pack.

Not really true of some areas like climate change and brexit.

Its mostly from thinking about what shows up in the media.

It's clearly not books or science - inherent bias, you seem to insist.

Thats certainly true about how evil the EU is.

Well, yes. But even the TV 4 - Sky, RT, Al Jazeera and BBC - is not a
bad start.
