So where do you go for the truth? Which of your UK based organizations are unbiased? You seem to like linking to the Guardian. Do you find them to be truthful and unbiased?
I try to find my own truth, I listen to multiple sources.
None of our UK organisations are unbiased and I think it naive to expect them to be. I try to watch Question Time every week as they have a balanced panel so you hear all sides of an argument.
I don't particularly like linking to the Guardian but sometimes they are the only people reporting a story that interests me, I do think their environmental articles are well written. If you were to count up my sources you'll find I link to the Daily Mail far more often. I do this to avoid accusations of bias derailing the conversation. The Guardian is clearly biased to the left.
I've never been a great fan of newspapers and never buy one apart from the occasional train journey if I've forgotten to take a book. The last time I did that (several years ago) I bought the Independent, this was before they were bought out by a Russian oligarch. Next time I am forced to buy one it will probably be the Times.

Although the BBC has an establishment bias I find their left/right bias to be better than most. They are required by law to give both sides to a story which is enforced by an all-party parliamentary committee.
They do not shirk away from criticising the government either.
My current favourite journalist is James O'Brien of LBC radio as I think his Brexit commentary is excellent. He's a centralist who leans slightly to the left and has the same opinion of Corbyn as myself ie that he is an outdated relic of the 1980s who needs to step aside to allow his party to return to being an effective opposition party.

I've answered as honestly as I can but obviously I have my own biases and I wouldn't expect you to believe anything I've written.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

It's called gateway PUNDIT :doh:
Hitler called himself a National Socialist but that didn't make him a Marxist.
Hateway Pundit is a better descriptive name IMO. ;)

If you read Mein Kampf he explains how he borrowed ideas from socialists to create his political platform. He called his political philosophy a "third way" between liberal capitalism and Marxist socialism. He didn't like either and viewed them as two heads of the same coin.

I don't understand why you dismiss sources like the GP and Breitbart so hard when you admit that even your own provided sources are biased. You accused me of having already made up mind based on my own bias on the Smollett story even though I explained the evidence I read about from multiple sources. Seems a bit disingenuous given what you just posted.

Pretty soon I could see a bunch of crying wolf stories piling up, and then you know well people stop pretending to care when people (oppressed class) cries at all.
