Worth Worth having a look at PewDiePieâs recent video after the shite heâs had coming his way from the MSM.
He basically made a silly joke referencing Nazis at the same level as 'Allo 'Allo referenced Nazis and has been dragged over the coals massively. Iâm not a fan of his videos (although I donât disrespect his success at all - he aims his content for kids which is completely fair enough) but heâs been treated digustingly.
Readers with a memory that goes back, say two months, may remember an Al Jazeera series that was posted here, providing a shitload of evidence that the Israeli Embassy has been working with âBritishâ pro-Israel groups.
The UJS, the chief source of the allegations in todayâs Guardian report, features prominently in the AJ investigation.
Al Jazeeraâs Investigative Unit discovered that the UJS not only received money from the Israeli embassy, but also attempted to influence the NUS presidency election, and even oust Bouattia following her victory.
Michael Rubin, a young parliamentary officer and pro-Israel activist who claimed to work âwith the ambassador and embassy quite a lotâ, told Robin that Bouattia was âreally badâ and âawfulâ.
âWe were campaigning for the person running against her because we didnât want her to win,â said Rubin, who was at the time of the election chairman of the Labour Students group.
During the election campaign, Richard Brooks, NUS vice president, held âsecretâ meetings with Russell Langer, UJS campaign director, and Rubin.
âWeâd have our secret little purpose meeting where weâd plan how to get moderate people with good politics and any number of things elected to certain places,â he said, adding that the group worked âquite closely togetherâ.
The Guardian was barely interested in the evidence surrounding the Israeli Embassy story, yet makes the allegations of one of the co-ordinated groups its top story.
I watched the PewDiePie response before I heard this reported by BBC (on the radio). The BBCâs description of the response bore little resemblance to the content of the video. It stressed the apology (for making a tasteless joke that went to far) and completely ignored any criticism (in the video) of the MSM and the way in which PewDiePie had been quoted out of context and targetted for earning a good salary. I wouldnât trust the BBC unless I was looking for a kiddy fiddler to throw money at.
I watch stuff from other international broadcasters, but listen to a bit of Radio4. It can be genuinely annoying when youâre clued up about an issue you know theyâre purposefully misrepresenting, making you wonder about all the shite you hear which youâre less clued up about.
I reckon trust in the TV news is a generational thing. My mum and grandad get massively influenced by it; their opinions often reflect the day to day agenda, even if they happen to conflict from day to day. Itâs still hugely powerful, something of a joke when you consider the extremely chequered history of the corporation.
They allowed a suspected child abuser to present youth-oriented shows. Their champion of children, Esther Rantzen, Childline founder, didnât look so glowing after the Savile revelations broke.
There are some people that reckon Childline and Crimestoppers were actually gatekeeper organisations there to protect VIPs and government wrongdoing. Doesnât really seem so far fetched.
This thread appears to be a Pap digressing route from 5 murders, what are you saying Pap not implying? I find it funny tin foil heads all appear when something happens thatâs not aggreable with their agenda.
Bit late replying, as Iâve only just seen this post. Youâre quite right though - the Guardian was sadly remiss in its total non-coverage of that story.
Fits the pattern of reporting that Gavin Lewis describes perfectly. Print something when it has no other choice.
Not two weeks later, the same paper was using claims from the UJS, discredited as part of the AJ investigation, and caught bang to rights, as if it were credible.
Interesting, but not a surprise to me, that people arenât able to comment on any of those articles. I discovered similar censorship two years ago. I suppose the secret was bothering to look.
Yeah, itâs shocking how the relevant authorities were too stupid or cowardly to do their jobs. No-one really covered that angle.
I assume you canât be talking about the Muslim dimension. Iâve just spent the day listening to Radio4 doing their best to equate conversion to Islam as the gateway drug to radicalism, and the past fifteen years watching the media enable simpletons to conduct their own forms of stabiliser sectarianism.
