My post was not IN ANY WAY racist, but I feel I have rather touched a nerve with you by suggesting that GB News - or GBeebies - is a platform for those with gammony views.

You have to give the left credit for coming up with 'Gammon', I think it's absolutely hilarious. No difference whatsoever than the right calling the left 'snowflakes' etc.

Pedantic mode on. It's not World Weekly News, it's Weekly World News.

Unfortunately online only now but probably easier to read without everyone at the supermarket checkout knowing your reading habits.

Ed Anger is alive and well. https://weeklyworldnews.com/category/opinion/ed-anger/

Weekly World News was the only press organ to follow the exploits of Bat Boy, or give Vanna's alien baby decent coverage.

Over the last few years, I think the western world has gone crazy...the left and the right never seemed to be this way, but now many people get very personal and feel insulted if you have the opposite political view to them, why? this is a new thing, unheard of a few years ago, I can't keep up with the slang terms and names coming from both sides these days....its descended into a comedy show.

We don't get straight forward unbiased news reporting anymore from the media, we get left or right wing opinions, depending on what we watch/read, and this is the problem. I don't want opinions foisted upon me from media outlets, I just want the unbiased facts that remain in the context that they came from, not "selective reporting" laced with their opinion

So like you say its a case of having to watch/read both left and right wing news sources in order to establish your own opinion on world affairs and events, the main stream media now is a joke.

Watch the BBC. Problem solved.

Sorry. I used to pick the longest queue so as to have time to read it but shopping fashions have changed, and the queue now isn't at the till, so I hadn't even noticed its disappearance.

The middle is the most miserable place to be in the intensely polarised world of modern politics because everybody thinks you’re wrong.

I think John Cleese summed it up perfectly.

Be in no doubt that the independence of the BBC is slowly but surely being reeled in by the Tories. They won't be happy until it has red, white and blue livery and learns to do as it's told.

The fact that so many right-wingers think the BBC is leftie shows how utterly biased most of the other media is. It's the singular most highly-regarded news outlet in the whole world, yet half the UK population thinks it's Marxist.

Yes, I've heard. Laura Kuenssberg's cozy relationship with Bozo is symptomatic of that rot.

When I was at university in Waterloo, one of my roommates regularly bought The Economist, The Wall Street Journal and the Weekly World News at a store near our house and he bought the "News" for a balanced approach to life.

Reminds me of an experience a few years ago, at Heathrow, at W H Smiths where the pin striped fellow in front of me was buying The Times and the Sun. He said the Sun was to figure out what the mouth breathers were interested in.

Well yes the BBC serves as one half of my news source, I need to sought the other half though before I can form a balanced opinion. I am astounded you think its an unbiased news source....there is no such thing these days.

Almost agree. I find PBS close to being balanced most of the time.

Yes, PBS is fine. I'd also say the Atlantic is pretty balanced. I read the Spectator sometimes to catch up on the hard, but not frothing. right.

What's your other half for balance, the NYT? Maybe the Guardian?
