Richard Ayoade supports Richard Ayoade

[lechiffre55]

I know it's a mistake but I thought this was rather funny :)

"Former Sun Editor Kelvin MacKenzie has praised Richard Ayoade’s show of support for cancelled comedian Richard Ayoade."

And you are incredibly rude. Zero self awareness.

Someone has been taking primary level education classes in how to use adjectives to create maximum effect.

I can see why we’re seeing change in the media.

If people feel the typical outlets are biased or captured then people will look for something else

The answer is don’t use state run to push an agenda not if you do expect push back

Also the lack of taught debating skills is very evident in many posts. There seems to be no understanding that it is possibe to argue from a persepctive one does not necessarily share. If you doesn't understand ( or even listen) the opponent's argument, how can you argue effectively against it.

In order to have some semblance of civilised discussion, rather than just name calling and abuse - you have to actually engage with the content of someone's argument. All we have above is the over-use of admonishing adjectives in order to put people down rather than deal with the issue.

When people don't feel they need to understand the opposite view, because they prioritise tribal alleginace and emotional response above all else then hostility and division ensues..........

Which is ironic goven we were supposed to be discussing the nature of division.

That should be..

and if you do

Of course the issue is that unless you agree that anyone who says the are a transwomen is 100% a women and should be welcomed into every women's space then you are transphobic. There is no discussion to be had beyond that.

Just reading this article on GL, it's an older one but I can't find anything to disagree with,

GB news thrives on an is predicated on creating and exploiting divisions in society.

People thrive on creating and exploiting divisions in society.

The trick is to be able see through the bs.

You see what Toctol wants you to see then.

Snippets aren't arguments, what you are doing is turning any content simply into an instinctive reaction piece, rather than engaging. Essentially shutting down the possibility of thought.

Of course no one has time for everything, but you have no business characterizing a news channel you've never really seen.

Tictok, blast it.

Tactol sounds like some kind of pill.

Three botton top right of post, bottom option.
I think you have only a few minutes of edit window.

It's the nature of politics that it involves "division" and journalists make their money by writing or talking about it.

Presumably there are some good people, like at the Guardian, that are kind and compassionate people, and they just really want to raise awareness about issues they really care about.

On GB news, however, they are purely motivated by money. Or even worse, they just want to whip up hatred for the fun of it.

No one could have a sincere belief in anything that isn't leftie politics.

Oh gosh. That's very exciting. Revolutionary, even.

I'm hoping my sarcasm meter isn't giving me a faulty reading on your post.

Tell me that's sarcasm. I've been hurt before...

My father used to read the Daily Telegraph - definitely not my newspaper of choice - and I’d have a flick through it occasionally. On one of these occasions, I read a letter saying that its writer read the Telegraph because, many years ago, his University tutor told him that he shouldn’t read newspapers that only agreed with the views he already held.
I thought that was good advice and have followed a wide range of news outlets ever since.
