Reply #20: Who is 'you people'?

[LeftishBrit]

And what I say is in the context of our being on a board where most people are not British, do not have an opportunity to read every one of our daily papers on a daily basis even if they wished to, and may not realize which of our papers are most untrustworthy (most of them are to a degree!). Just as we wouldn't automatically realize which are the most unreliable American sources, and I would certainly prefer to be told. Because the BBC is comparatively reasonable, many people outside Britain don't realize how bad much of our media is.

It is indeed important to be familiar with all of one's country's media, because it has so much influence; but I don't want to see our RW media's lies spread around the world without contradiction.

I wouldn't recommend trusting the Mirror either, but at least they don't indulge in quite as much immigrant-baiting and calls for savage punishments and general all-round right-wing nuttery as the Daily Mail, Daily Express, or Sun.
