The ground is being prepared for something, but what that is I don’t know.

I did not know of this site. I used to be a fan of the G many years ago , about 15-17 years ago, but realised in the last few years its become more of a mouth piece of Washington/ London and may as well call itself “BBC befriended”.
After years of being a frequent visitor to their comments page, I now find myself banned from commenting on their flagrant propaganda pieces. Makes me mad you cannot state to viewers the bias they produce.
If anyone now mentions the G in any “independent” coverage I just ignore it. Cant help it.

The term reporter seems more apt as they just report what they are told.

The Guardian: the ISIS of British news media.

Yesterday their doublespeak was on clear display In the article about the Kuril islands, It was clear the impression they wanted to leave to the Uneducated reader was that Russia had taken over these islands recently, that it’s yet another example of expansionism and not due to the Treaty of Potsdam after the Second World War. Poor journalism indeed.
