What instead of resorting to generalisations, slurs and not so thinly veiled rhetoric you mean?

'If it was the Times or The Telegraph, you might have a fair point'. Not the Telegraph anymore after last week. Photos of tory brexit 'mutineers', now actually in danger because of this disgrace? Whatever is possessing the sick minds of these editors? Bonkers brexit that's what. Over a hundred years of conservative with a small 'c' journalism ruined? Reduce the size, join the other rags, only suitable for the landfill now.

Just an attempt to counter what they deem right-wing control of the media, as much as anything else. I mean everyone who I've ever heard highlight the incendiary nature of the Mail has linked that directly to a greater conspiracy. I can't even have political views without someone telling me I'm a product of some system or other. I don't really know how the left operate with this high level philosophy of everything. It omits any reasoned analysis of the workings of the entire 'system' if everyone in a foodbank is a victim of May and above. The biggest irony though being what utter sh1te the Mirror is.

The thing is with the left, you can work out beforehand exactly what their line will be on practically any issue. It will be whatever fits their current dogmas, they lack any real objectivity.
