The BBC (and mainstream media in general) are cunts. Nothing new in that, I guess. But my reason for nominating them here is for their double standards.
I saw a piece on the BBC website earlier about food campaigner Jack Monroe. Turns out, Jack Monroe is actually a she, and she has written books and articles for the Guardian and Independent, among others. Now, my cunting isn’t for that, but more for the way they describe Ms. Monroe. She wasn’t born ‘Jack’ – her birth name is Melissa – but she now prefers to be called Jack, and the BBC are happy to play along.
Now contrast this to the way any reports of another campaigner, Tommy Robinson, are framed. It’s always Tommy Robinson, “real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon”. As if his real name somehow invalidates his work.
It’s the same with the Trans lobby – the mainstream media always happy to play along and defer to whatever the person has decided to call themselves this week, for fear of offending and ‘deadnaming’ them. But if it’s someone the MSM dislikes, they’ll do anything to try and discredit the message.
Cunts one and all.
