You Can’t Get the Extinguisher without Breaking Glass

All media have their biasses, their prejudices, and their methods of bending the truth. Nobody’s perfect.
For a long time I thought that the treatment of Climate Change in centre-left media like the Guardian & the BBC was something unique. You could shrug off their biasses on other subjects; they were no worse than their rivals on the centre right. But the nonsense printed and broadcast about climate was so exceptionally deranged that it seemed there was nothing you could do about it (apart from write about a thousand blog articles on the subject of course.)
This is no longer the case. There is now a large number of subjects on which the mainstream press cannot be trusted, or rather, can be trusted – to lie, or hide the truth. They include: Trump; Russia; the Ukraine war; election fraud; Trump; China; vaccines; Europe; Russian hypersonic missile technology; Trump; pyromanic Ukrainian male models; medical science; rocket science, and everything that’s not rocket science.
I just read an article in the Guardian so weirdly afflicted by Trump Derangement Syndrome that I felt I had to find out more about the journalist.
Newspapers are not neutral. They support certain policies, and naturally reproduce the opinions of politicians who propose those policies. They also discuss the views of academics and others who provide the expertise that underlies the policies, and recount the activities of activists who act in support of the policies.
