The Battle has been Won

That's what happens when all the media is owned by like 6 guys I guess. The elite can convince the masses that the interests of the elite are the interests of the masses.

Bingo.

Tells you all you need to know. A master of manipulation. A king maker.

A casaaaaaaaaaaaaant.

Kingmaker is correct. Some of his media outlets are regularly and blatantly pushing agendas and its mindboggling the number of followers and purchasers they still have.

There's other third world countries other than Laos and Madagascar.

To put it in perspective. We are 18th, the good ok’ us of a who Boris wants to emulate (not for any idiological reason, but to please his rich buddies) is 37th.

Yet we are going to sign a deal (we will, at great cost to us) with them, so they can charge us far more for drugs.

Sure they nhs is never in the table’, yes Boris, but you lie, like you have all along. The nhs as whole might not be, but you will be carving bits off and you’ll certainly bend over for that orange idiot to shaft us in a new trade deal.

Don’t trust any politicians, labour, liberal etc, but never, ever trust a Tory.

Spot on Baz

And ask yourself why would Boris meet only him, at the same time targeting the impartial bbc?

Don’t trust either Boris or any of murdochs mouth pieces.

Boris advisor Dominic Cummings in 2004 wanted to scrap the bbc, in favour of tv networks that allowed political advertising in Any form (that meant no fact checking, no limits- think what goebbels did with that).

No fact checking, no checks? Think what that means. That some scary shiiit.

We are lucky in Britain that we have the likes of the bbc, and c4 and itv to an extent who aren’t politically aligned (or at least not meant to be, I don’t mention sky as they are former murdoch mouth piece, and it takes time to shift editors that are that way aligned) who do report news fairly. With what Boris and his buddies want, is Fox News type spin on everything, or worse, which I’ve outlined above. Do you think the folks in Germany around 1933-45 had balanced news?

Scary world.

Fact checking? If that actually happened then Brexit might have failed.

Good point. But imagine if they get what they want. That’s done really scary stuff, the fact that Boris has a guy whispering in his ear to end the impartial information flow and basically turn it into propogabda is scary stuff.

He’s already started on the bbc. They tried to get him in for an Andrew neill grilling and he hid like a coward. And was called on it, now he’s going to get his revenge.

I can see early parallels with 1930 Germany to what he will try and do with the information flow. That’s really bad news for us.

The way it is these days, you get your tv, entertainment from the Internet largely. But most of the places you go to get are owned by corporations that can feed you any content they want, and some of it subtle politicall alignment (in form of movies, shows etc) that influence you. I’m not saying many do that now, but it can and probably will happen. That why I like the bbc and c4, the bbc have to operate faily and they tend to do that, and c4 are independent, so both are meant to be Fred of political leanings. They should be safeguarded, before the political elite destroy it all for propaganda.
