John Chuckman (ADDITIONAL) COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN BY JONATHAN COOK IN CONSORTIUM NEWS   “Corbyn’s Labour is Being Made to Fail – by Design”    The situation at The Guardian becomes worse each passing day. They must have a special “get Corbyn” squad at work full-time. Today, there’s a big story about a video […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT   “Jeremy Corbyn is ‘figurehead’ for antisemitism”   What a sickening, lowlife thing to say about a thoroughly decent man. Even though the actual metaphor used is rather confused in its meaning, the vile intention is clear. I suppose the confused words arrive from excessive […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN AND PROMPTLY REMOVED Labour conference 2017: Jeremy Corbyn’s leader’s speech – Politics live “Labour’s denial of antisemitism in its ranks leaves the party in a dark place’ That’s The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland in another article about Labour, an article on which we are not allowed […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JULIAN BAGGINI IN THE GUARDIAN   “Jeremy Corbyn is a great populist. But that’s no good for our democracy” Well, Julian Baggini, you have the distinction of having written the most thoughtless Corbyn hate-piece I’ve seen. I understand why The Guardian’s current editors publish junk propaganda – […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER   In today’s advanced world, if you do not receive press coverage, you effectively do not exist, and your words are like whispers in a deep forest. Owing to a period of intense corporate consolidation, only about a half dozen companies control most of what […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JONATHON FREEDLAND IN THE GUARDIAN   And, Jonathan Freedland, you’re no Seymour Hersh or I. F. Stone or Carl Bernstein or Robert Fisk – a few of our finer journalists. This piece is simply vacuous. Essentially, it is just one more Guardian attack on Corbyn, and a […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN   “Why I joined the Labour party – and why I’m thinking of leaving” is the one-sided headline for an article which in fact examines the very different views of two people. Why is that? Of course, more anti-Corbyn propaganda. Kate Levey’s blubbering about dithering […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JONATHAN COOK IN THE UNZ REVIEW   “Even with Corbyn Gone, Antisemitism Threats Will Keep Destroying the UK Labour Party”   When it comes to comments by readers, The Guardian newspaper has a multi-layered, very active system of censorship. Its complete operation is not publicized. You must […]

John Chuckman EXPANSION OF A COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE UNZ REVIEW   “The New Russian Government, A much-needed evolution but not a revolution” ___________________ Response to a comment which referred to the Guardian newspaper as very “left wing” The Guardian is a terrible newspaper nowadays.

John Chuckman EXPANSION OF A COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY COLIN DRURY IN THE INDEPENDENT   “Olga Misik: Teenage girl reads constitution in front of Putin’s riot police during Moscow protests “She is a lone teenage girl sat cross-legged and armed with nothing more than the Russian constitution. “They are a line of Moscow’s […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JOE LAURIA IN CONSORTIUM NEWS   “The Guardian has claimed Paul Manafort visited Julian Assange at the Ecuador embassy. John Pilger visited Assange and tells CN’s Joe Lauria Assange strongly denied any such meeting”   The Guardian, under its present direction, serves pretty much as a crypto-Tory […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JONATHAN COOK IN CONSORTIUM NEWS   “The Guardian’s Vilification of Julian Assange “The Guardian did not make a mistake in vilifying Assange without a shred of evidence. It did what it is designed to do”   Yes, indeed, this is what the contemporary Guardian does. It is […]

John Chuckman COMMENTS POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT   “Labour antisemitism causing British Jews to consider leaving country, says leading rabbi “Jonathan Sacks insists he needed to ‘issue warning’ by comparing Jeremy Corbyn to Enoch Powell”   Jonathan Sacks is a tiresome, repetitive act in the theater of the absurd. And this silly […]

John Chuckman COMMENT ON THE GUARDIAN’S EXTRAORDINARY DISPLAY TODAY OF ANTI-RUSSIAN PREJUDICE   “Russian ‘dirty money’ is damaging UK security, MPs say “Government must stop money laundering by ‘kleptocrats and rights abusers’, which is helping Putin subvert international rules”   https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/may/21/russian-dirty-money-is-damaging-uk-security-mps-say   Today is Hate Russia Day over at The Guardian. Well, I know, they […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN INVESTMENTWATCH   “The Guardian Publishes Smear Against Isolated, Arbitrarily Confined Journalist Julian Assange”   The Guardian is shamelessly prejudiced in many things. Despite its old identity of a sober left-wing voice, its current management has turned it into an establishment mouthpiece which fogs its trail with loads […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY PETER KELLNER IN THE GUARDIAN   “Could a new centrist party plug the gap in British politics? “Don’t assume it’s impossible. The forces that worked against new parties in the past could be overcome”   The “gap” is an invention of the crowd who have shouted themselves […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY SIMON JENKINS IN THE GUARDIAN   “Britain’s criminal justice system is in disarray.”   Perhaps. And perhaps it is just the nation’s very sense of justice that has corroded away. We do have highly suggestive evidence for the latter. Theresa May’s accusations against Russia are absolutely without […]

John Chuckman 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 […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY TOBY MOSES IN THE GUARDIAN Anti-empire, pro-activist … The Last Jedi is as left wing as Jeremy Corbyn The latest Star Wars film is an unlikely champion of the grassroots – and it’s not even subtle about it I am surprised that anyone takes anything about Star […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN TRUTH NEWS Guardian, NYT Paint Power-Grabbing Saudi Dictator As Roguish, Visionary ‘Reformer’ The Guardian, under Editor-in-Chief Katharine Viner, has become a key British voice for Israeli interests, a full working member of the Israel lobby in Britain.

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ISRAEL SHAMIR IN RUSSIA INSIDER “Anti-Semitism Weaponized” An accurate phrase for what we see occurring. The most glaring case was the long campaign against a decent man, Jeremy Corbyn, after he was elected new leader of the Labour Party. Newspapers like The Guardian – likely the most […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ASHLEY COWBURN IN THE INDEPENDENT   “It’s time to dispel the myth that another Labour leader could have done better than Jeremy Corbyn”   About as obvious as saying the sun will rise tomorrow. This begs a serious question about the months-long campaign against Corbyn – a […]

John Chuckman COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY FINIAN CUNNINGHAM IN SPUTNIK   “Britain’s Real Terror Apologist” Good summary piece. In discussing the press attacks on Corbyn about being a “terrorist sympathizer,” the author neglects an even more insidious, unethical set of attacks – those against non-existent anti-Semitism. These latter attacks went on for months, […]
