You really are not getting it are you?
One of the fundamental things to grasp in any walk of life is the ability to detect lies and bias. In this context, that includes in reporting from news or information sites or people that you may agree with and also from those you don't agree with.
If you don't have the ability to do that, then you truly are destined to be a narrow-minded sheep that will just go along with every single thing that you hear if it fits your narrative, and will automatically block out information from anywhere or anyone that your narrow mind wants to block out.
I can see that very behaviour in several people posting here. They are automatically gainsaying just because I posted it, and not because they actually have a contrary opinion. Now I can see that, and those people know that, and it does show them for pitiful people that they are, and they should think on that for a while.
So are you recognising anything?
So once again for clarity, it's not about the news, not about the politics, not about the migrants, BLM or Brexit. It's about the bias that the UK's national news service, paid for by the tax-payer includes in many reports. And something you forgot to actually read (because of your own bias), the actual poor reporting standards/language of the very same national news service.
Always win an argument when you bring up the good old tax payers card - there are many non tax payers who pay the licence fee like students and those who are retired on low incomes.
