The Impartial British Press are richly deserving of a cunting.
This Sunday morning, the Daily Fail (a Tory rag) published an article on the 40 marginal seats that they must win to secure a majority, presumably in an effort to frighten the public with the spectre of a left wing bunch of commies running the country.
Then along comes the Labour rag, The Grauniad, with a list of 50 seats where you must vote tactically to keep the wicked Tories out.
I read both just to keep a sense of balance in what’s being said, but for fuck’s sake they need to get a grip and stop spreading scare stories and propaganda and trying their best to bend the outcome of the election to their own warped, infantile views of the country.
Fuck ’em all and the horse they rode in on…

Other than the Metro, which my wife occasionally picks up on the bus and I vaguely flick through, I haven’t read a newspaper in over a year. I don’t watch the news either and feel comfortably uninformed. Anything I need to know I will find here.

I used to always read the papers,
Pick one up on way to work.
Occurred to me i dont anymore, wasnt a conscious decision, didnt think ‘enough!’
Just stopped.
Not sure why? Don’t feel strongly about it an could normally see any ‘spin’ to a story.
Dont think ill start up reading the papers again.

I made a deliberate decision to stop all 3 newspapers I used to read (2 nationals and the local toilet paper) since it was costing me over £50 per month for shit that was either irrelevant or totally uninteresting, usually both. I immediately realised I didn’t miss them at all, and regretted all the money I’d wasted, much like when I stopped smoking.

keunssberg volunteering to pull everyone off after their big experiment.
hancock (no pun intended) is pulling one off and going to the bank. he is destroying the NHS in GP land. so fit young people all sign up via their phones for GP services. So young fit healthy people are then ‘deregistered automatically from their existing GP’. Because those old GPs now have less patients there are less resources and finances available for the old and young. so soon the government will do away with surgery and drs wont even have to see patients. Scary isnt it……..
yet labour and liberals bitch about boris, but in realityit is the cunt hancock fucking up our nhs. just as may did with her sacking of police and hiring g4s to make her husbands shares accrue value, while we all get f’d in the a.

This is precisely what I’m talking about. I flicked through it but it didn’t alter my views because: a) I didn’t care, and b) I’m going to vote for Trump.

The NHS is a disfunctional vastly overated organisation, it doesn’t need anybody to fuck it up

The only thing worse than journalists these days are politicians, of all parties. Not one politician is anything other than a self-serving cunt. The only paper I buy is the Motor Cycle News, which never has anything political to say and has nice pictures. There are no other papers that don’t have an agenda, whether Left, middle or Right, it doesn’t matter, they’re all a bunch of cunts. Looking forward to getting rid of BBC and C4 as well.
21
Blew the TV licence out about four years ago and have never regretted it.
Not bought a paper in years either. Occasionally try to browse The Metro when visiting my Dad but invariably close it in annoyance or disgust before reaching page four.
I even change the radio station if any “news” comes on.
Bollocks, all of it…
5
Opinions, like Excuses and arseholes, everyone one has one. The news media seem to have forgotten that they should be reporting after the fact and not be trying to set the agenda.
10
I haven’t bought a newspaper for a very long time, and the last time was for the crossword, certainly not news which they no longer contain.
If I wanted to know what happened in the soaps, or strictly come dancing, I’d watch the shitfest. no need to read about it as well.
Likewise who’s shagging who in the celebrity circles. I couldn’t give a flying fart, (except to comment on this website).
As for impartiality, anything deserving of the word ‘news’ is usually twisted to suit the agenda of whichever rag is printing it, and we remain unaware of the facts.
5
Most of us expect newspapers to be biased and partial. Usually it says so on the tin – if you buy The Telegraph or The Grauniad you expect a particular stance and are probably ok with that.
It’s bias in national broadcasters that’s unforgivable in my view. Al-Beeb and Channel Bore are public service broadcasters and should be impartial. Instead they both act like the broadcasting arm of The Grauniad.
16
Unfortunately the great unwashed don’t want objectivity. They want sensation. And do they get it. Which means that the truth is whatever the loudest voice wants it to be. Welcome to 1984.
(The Yorkshire Post isn’t too bad, btw)
10
The Press are taking their cue from the likes of Johnson and Corbyn (and their sinister spin doctors, Cummings and Milne). Lying is the new Rock & Roll, even at the so called quality broadsheets. What’s more, the public appear not to care about being blatantly lied to anymore, so long as those lies and embellishments chime with what they want to believe is the truth. Can’t say we weren’t given adequate warning by Orwell etc.
10
In moderation for the word Cümmings. Serves me fucking right.
7
The MSM are anything but impartial now. This week the left-wing papers are practically begging everyone to vote Liebore. As for the A-BBC, Sly News and Channel Bore they’ve been pushing this narrative about Liebore being a government in waiting for the last 3 years. If Boris pledged to cancel the A-BBC tax I’m pretty sure he’d walk the election. In all honesty I’ll be voting for the Brexit Party. I couldn’t care less if it’s a wasted vote. The others are all big state, high tax, authoritarian Socialists, progressively removing our rights and freedoms. We deserve so much better.
11
I suspect that if Corbyn offered to fuck the Queen up the arse and shoot every male baby born in Britain, the fucking Daily Mirror and Guardian would still be supporting him, becaause he is such a lovely cuddly compassionate old man.
Their readers are so thick and blinkered they would believe them as well.
11
I see in the papers. No I don’t I saw it on the phone. But it was probably in the papers. So technically I’m still on topic. Fuck it off topic.
Stunt cunts. Or stunt protesters. Another one last night. Dame Helen Mirren reading a ‘bedtime’ story to those activists identifying with the homelesss braving the cold on their ‘sleep out’ demo. This fast on the heels of another Dame (there ain’t nothing like a dame when it comes to stunts) Emma fucking Thomson who did the lamest mock weather forecast outside the BBC. My point. I hesistate…I wouldn’t put Saint Greta the Great in the same category. I don’t see her in the same way. You would say she’s out to pull a stunt.
4
I mean Extinction Rebellion are full of stunts. That’s all they are; stunts. Greta is the only genuine person in the whole movement.
6
The same St. Greta who recently came out and stated that it’s not actually about the environment, but rather “The climate crisis is due to colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression” and that’s what she wants to end.
It certainly sounds like she is thinking for herself and not just parroting the SJW narrative she has been force-fed and put on stage by her handlers to promote, eh?
10
Fair enough Flipper. I didn’t know she had said that. That’s disappointing.
Still at least (to my mind) she’s not a stunt.
5
We should bring back the word ‘stunt’ into political discourse. I long for Brillo to say to Dame Helen or Emma-‘Oh I know you’re concerned but really you’re just pulling a stunt aren’t you?’
Or for once challenge Extinction Rebellion’-‘What stunt are you pulling today?’ Everyone knows that all this is just about pulling a stunt. Nobody’s ever challenged.
4
Now precious Greta does’t do this. I think she made a joke on Twitter a while back but that’s all. I see today that she left some meeting with a stern face.
4
Unfortunately, because of her mental health disorder, I don’t believe she has the tools to recognise that her thoughts are not necessarily her own.
It feels to me like her autism, and particularly the obsessional/anxiety aspects have been manipulated to create some kind of social justice action figure, perfect for today’s world when being woke means being elevated above all the other peasants and celebrated as a hero to counter all the nasty intolerant white men.
In that sense I don’t think she really can be called disingenuous, as she just simply isn’t aware or even capable of being able to discern that she is being lied to or exploited. The ASD just doesn’t afford her the wiring necessary to do so.

Where’s your post gone on the British Press RTC. It’s listed but none here. You haven’t been modded have you?

There was a mod reply here just a few seconds ago too. The mods being modded?👍

No just a quick tidy up.

Evening Bertie.
My comment’s back now. For the last couple of hours I’ve been out and about in Portmeiron, campaigning on behalf of the Libertarian Party, so don’t know when it reappeared.
Caught out by the cüm word again… how embarrassing!
PS: The Village Times always tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me Number Two.

It’s a wonder the locals didn’t set Rover on you, you Scalliwag
Evening Ruff one.

I only take the Sunday Times which is the source of many bizarre Brexit scare stories but has decent columnists to balance this and the Business section’s rabid remoaning.
I don’t believe a word printed in the national newspapers of whatever hue. All bollocks to suit an agenda. And anyway, their influence (It’s the Sun what done it) is much reduced.
I concur. Fuck em all but spare the horse.

I occasionally buy newspapers to line my cat’s litter trays (prior to scattering wood pellets on top) if I can’t pick up enough freebees to do the job. The weekend Guardian is good, with all its extra bits and pieces of food/holiday/theatre guff, and so is that other one, er … what’s it called … hmmm … well anyway, the other big one with lots of extra crap for the wankering upper class cunts and tossers to read over their latte and croissants.
I don’t read them, I just put them on the boxes and my darling kitties shit or piss over all the pretentious twatter. Particularly pleasing when they (the cats) do a runny number over a politician or a royal prince who happens to be pictured there in glorious techicolor.
PS sorry if the wood pellets sound a bit middle-class, but I use them because the whole lot, paper, crap and pellets, can be burned afterwards on my woodburner and it keeps the coal and wood ‘in’ better. The ordinary cat lit is unburnable and is too heavy when soaked in piss and tends to split the bin bags if deposited there.
Good afternoon, miaow fucking miaow.

I dislike the Guardian and cat’s !!
2
Hereward, if you used World’s Best cat litter you could just flush it down the loo. It’s biodegradable. Me and Greta think it’s the dog’s bollocks.
3
I think Greta Thunderpants would prefer it if the water is recycled for further use, not sure how that works with bits of cat in it

Last paper I bought would probably have been The Daily Sport about twenty odd years ago. Tits and fucking ass along with shite stories about aliens fucking sheep – at least you knew what you were fucking getting. All MSM is cunt.
8
Anyone remember “Reveille” – was it a Saturday or Sunday only thing ? Can’t have had much cunt in it, because my Grannie took it (the paper, that is…) but lots of ads in the back for Alston’s rubber corsets, and bizarre gadgets from a “Mister Lewis” (sic) in Balham, whose best-seller seemed to be some sort of domestic ohp, which I guess would’ve been used to project Mayfair onto your walls. Or that’s what I’d have done…

My gran took another salacious organ (fnaarrr) called Titbits.
I remember only that the cartoons were good, ‘Styx’ (with whose son I once gatecrashed a Jewish wedding) was one of the regular cartoonists.

Ahem…where you were.

Twat! Ignore me. Read my own fucking comment wrong.

Now we have the younger Snow (Dan,Dan the wanker man) sticking his oar in, telling everyone to vote Lib Dumbs.
You’re a tv presenter cunt. You read shit that other cunts write on the telly. Nobody is interested in your fuckarse opinion so shut your cunthole.
15
I see you’re a subscriber to Corbyn’s notion of a “kinder, gentler politics.” Most commendable Freddie. 😂
8
I used to take The Times on the weekend, but that loud Oirish cunt Caitlin Moran writes a column so out of principle, I’ll not even wipe my arse with it now.
4
Have an annual subscription to a broadsheet, costs a fair old wedge but I think the printed/written word should be supported otherwise we will be solely reliant on broadcast media or the internet (where anything said is never challenged). The columnists are often worth a read
4
Talking of the cunting media, the world’s shittest paper, the daily mirror has published some picture of a discarded child on a hospital floor, whose indignant mother is now going to vote labour. Reeks of bullshit, especially with those dodgy cunts. Phone hacking scandal anyone. Yes, those cunts.
8
Daily Mirror nothing ever subtle in their propaganda stitch ups
2
I like my bias in the form of Mayhar Tousi and of course ISAC. I quite happily dip into the Daily Fail and The Express, online of course. I’m certainly not going to pay for bias – who pays for a bleeding subscription or actually buys a newspaper these days?
Check Mayhar out on You Tube- he’s a nice sensible, right wing young man, originally from Iran. He’s put up a Christmas tree in his house and he has a postcard of Margaret Thatcher on the top of it with the quote “Don’t just hope for a better future, vote for one’.

Just cancelled my subscription to Q Magazine. Fucking sick of it all now being anti Brexit and anti Trump. I just want to read about music not your fucking political views you snowflake cunts.
1
I get most of my news updates word of mouth these days, via a hilarious overweight and wheelchair bound Jewish fella I occasionally work with, who’s incredibly right leaning.
You can’t trust the mainstream media full-stop, as it’s owned and controlled by a handful of large media corporations. It’s basically a form of control via misreporting the facts to affect public opinion. The so called fake news that we’re constantly warned about is often more accurate than the broadcasts from Jimmy Savile house.
A real shower of cunts!

Who the fuck buys a newspaper?
That’s money that could be spent on beer.
