Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Im starting to like this guy more and more.
When I see my man Tom, I upvote.
sorry for being an ignorant american, but why are migrants trying to get to the UK? if theyre able to make it to france and germany, why dont they seek asylum there instead of trying to cross the english channel?
Haven't watched the video yet, but Chris Hedges talks about his time working at The New York Times in Unspeakable. It's really interesting and worth the read, or listen.
His content is getting better and better
I am glad Tom makes the remark β although 20 minutes in β that it is a logical/philosophical impossibility to avoid bias, something that a number of Enlightened Centrists erroneously believe. (This is not to say that no critique is possible, just the idea of ideology-free reporting in a dangerous mirage IMHO.)
EDIT: Curiously, at about 53 minutes, he makes the weaker claim that is "essentially" impossible. Anyway, good video, especially the implicit observation that the main consumer of BBC News is actually the editors of the national newspapers.
What news sources would you recommend?
