JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: BRITAIN'S GUARDIAN ACCUSED OF DISTORTING JULIAN ASSANGE INTERVIEW - EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT TODAY'S GUARDIAN - ESTABLISHMENT EXEMPLAR OF PRESS BIAS AND FAKE NEWS


COMMENT TO AN ARTICLE IN RINF


Well, my God, why is this news?

Anyone who looks at The Guardian frequently knows it distorts everything it touches.

Those politicians and causes it opposes are literally buried under truckloads of shit.

Those that it supports receive glowing and frequent articles.

I would go so far as to say today's Guardian is one of the world's worst newspapers, at least among broadsheets.

I know, I know, there are all kinds of other bad papers - starting with everything Rupert Murdoch owns to the various tabloids - but The Guardian never stops pretending it is something other than what it is.

It claps itself on the back almost daily for journalistic excellence while dumping still more crap on many unsuspecting readers.

The hypocrisy to my mind only magnifies the lack of truth and balance and embrace of propaganda.

One of its key columnists, Jonathan Freedland, could likely compete with the New York Times' oleaginous and consistently dishonest Thomas Friedman, Chief Spokesperson for the Pentagon and the Israel Lobby. I am not aware of Freedland ever writing a truthful column. They all have a purpose, and the purpose is not to inform.
