I used them as obvious examples, to counter the spurious idea that only "leftish" bias exists in the media. Only the Mirror and the Guardian tend to look the other way and are well out numbered.

No, the coverage of Trump wasn't "biased". It was often negative, but bias demands it is presented from a particular viewpoint. When the consensus in the UK was overwhelmingly negative, reporting that was factual.

Only people like Farage worshipped at Trump's temple. His views got covered too.

It's like the views on the BBC that are expressed here. The bias that is seen is only seen because those that see it are themselves biased.

The problem is that they won't realise that, let alone be able to admit to it.

Just a lot of word play waffle.

Your credibility is now non existent.

Go climb a tor.

Parts of the Internet that are not accessible via typical browsing. So of course no, using a VPN has little to do with it. Whereas something like TOR would be. I would suggest that being a bit naughty and downloading a blockbuster movie over VPN might be a good use of that technology in terms of obscuring this fact from an ISP. However, it would be foolish to imagine that governments aren't easily able to circumvent that.

Networks that more successfully anonymise those using in like TOR, clearly have many legitimate users but also attract hordes those wanting to mask their activity for more nefarious reasons. We already know this, it's not news. I would suggest that everybody using such networks is by default likely on a government watchlist due to the significantly increased concerns around the platform. It raises difficult questions about privacy vs the need to protect the vulnerable and tackle extremist.

This probably makes you among the most comfortable people on the planet.

You are boring.

There is no coming back from the utter deluded contradictory twaddle you have posted today.

I am pretty contented, that's true, but that's not due to being reassured by those on the margins disagreeing with me. Not enough of them, in the world at large, to make much difference.

That they band together in the small places like this, in which they can confirm their biases, can lead them into the false belief that their views are mainstream.

I might be outnumbered here, but in the real world I am part of the majority, whose political leanings are only mildly left or right and who agree about the bigger issues.
