    Because the public should be made aware of who is responsible for criminality.

    I can't honestly be arsed. You know exactly what I'm referring to. Pete will doubtless provide some in due course.

    Possibly. I won't pretend to spend much time noticing right wing think tanks.

    You've literally quoted a state-run media channel claiming bias on another state-run media channel! <laugh>
    ****ing Russia Today? Give me a ****ing break.
    As for the IEA, they're ultra-capitalists and object to it in principle.
    They also accept brib... er, I mean donations to run stories, like they did on the tobacco industry.

    There are legitimate issues with the BBC and problems worth discussing.
    As usual though, your sources are bloody appalling.
    Come on, at least do a little bit of digging before you post this stuff.

    So a clip shows them faking the news, and you blame the whistleblowers.

    I think you're proving the point I made earlier.

    Yes, I know what you are referring to, I'd just like to see what you class as being irrelevant to the story.

    Your lack of attention could explain your position.

    The majority demographic of the country? Isn't it automatically assumed until stated otherwise?

    I didn't bother watching a 15 minute video from a propaganda channel, I'm afraid.
    Given your stance on the principle of state-run media, I'm not sure why you did.
    It's ok when it's Putin's bullshit, I guess?

    So you comment from prejudice and ignorance.

    Leave say we give £350m a week which we could be spending on the NHS.
    That's not any kind of correct.

    Remain say that it's not an accurate claim, as we get a load of it back and we actually get something from it.
    That looks a lot more precise to me, but even then, you can check to find the real figures.

    Even if you think that both are lying, that doesn't mean that there's not an actual truth there somewhere.

    Seems like you've got a struggle on your hand if you can't displace a couple of comics.

    No, I comment with accuracy and a lack of bullshit.
    RT complaining about a state-run media channel lying is the height of irony and hypocrisy.
    I'm sure that you know that already, though.

    I'm off for a bit now though, as Spurs are playing.

    It's called lowest common denominator 'journalism'

    Clearly, that denominator is far lower than first thought...

    You seemingly ignored the second one and the comments for other reasons, but you say yourself that you pre judged the content and didn't watch it.

    That is you admitting that you're arguing from prejudice and ignorance, which makes you a bigot.

    Do we not give £350 million per week? Do we not get, what, about 50% of it back? Both statements are true.
