       The BBC, which mainstreamed Nigel Farage and the far right, is going to scold Gary Lineker for the following comments on the UK's immigration policy:"There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s"Free speech, but only if it's speech that doesn't offend the far right#Lineker https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/mar/08/gary-lineker-bbc-uk-asylum-policy-nazi-germany-match-of-the-day-presenter

       @edgeoforever @aristeon It's kind of worse than that here.You know how people have been praising Jon Stewart for being the only major journalist to bother asking heard questions and calling bullshit on people? Imagine that situation, but without even the Jon Stewart bit.We have one liberal newspaper, and it's the ****ing Guardian, and if the BBC ever want pro-science or left-of-centre views on the likes of Question Time, they invite one of 3 comedians on and that's it.

       @Rhodium103 @aristeon  you’re talking to someone very skeptical of Jon Stewart (attacked Hillary, promoted bothsidery) I an sure you too have smart individuals who occasionally speak up.
