JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE GAME OF “VIOLATING COMMUNITY STANDARDS” ON COMMENT SECTIONS – FURTHER WORDS ON THE GUARDIAN AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS TODAY – CERTAINLY NOT THE LEFT

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN BREITBART

 

“YouTube Bans The Daily Mail For ‘Violating Community Guidelines’”

 

You get exactly the same kind of thing from The Guardian newspaper, these days one of the most biased and confused publications in the mainstream press.

Critical comments – good solid ones, not abusive name-calling – are very often deleted by an editor for being “against community standards.”

The selection of articles upon which readers even are allowed to comment is remarkably small, especially when you eliminate those along the lines of, “How I learned to live with underarm hair” or “Increasing numbers of women are giving bestiality a try.”

The just plain news stories or editorials often allow no comments, even when it’s apparent to any objective reader they are twisted and biased beyond endurance.

The Guardian goes on frequent rampages, too, like its long genuinely McCarthyite campaign against Jeremy Corbyn over imagined anti-Semitism in his party. It has been relentless and openly unfair and produces never a scrap of proof, much resembling the approach of PM Theresa May’s recent accusations against Putin. And it pretty much totally threw in its lot with May’s insupportable attacks on the head of a major state.

The paper, unrecognizable from its serious old format of years ago, today resembles a hybrid cross of Millennials’ super-bounciness, an advocacy publication for minorities of every description getting close at times to excluding or abusing others, an establishment political house organ thinly disguised as progressive, and one of Britain’s more outrageous outlets for the Israel Lobby – in other words, almost anything but a real newspaper with journalistic standards.
