It could be a strand of his argument, but it isn't part of *my* argument that *you* forced as words from *me*.

I'm getting to the level of feather-spitting from the Bluesky intelligentsia aligning with Murdoch, Trump, and Farage to call for the destruction of the BBC.
They'll be alright in the future, remember,because they can stump up for an FT subscription, all the streaming channels, and whatever else.

And you keep being disingenuous by using the entertain bit of inform, educate, and entertain as some type of win to a conversation where we've been talking about the educate bit.

You seem to not understand all those pieces in the Canary and other left wing outlets etc saying the BBC is shit is exactly what Murdoch has done for 30+ years but wrapped in a way palatable for your biased to be stroked.
Same arse, different cheek.

The average joe will not jump through even that small hoop, and it aids disinformation greatly by making people second guess the source.
I'm livid the way the left and the right are laying down their pitchforks when we should be fighting.

Happily leaving the rest of us to be mushrooms.
