@estelle As you point out, we are so used to subject-verb-object word order that passive voice can insinuate the object is the actor. As in, "mistakes were made" = the mistakes made themselves!

'The Labour administration […] intends to flatten social, political – and therefore class – conflict, and reassert the state as the sole “legitimate” agent of politics in Britain.''One could reasonably suggest that the particular vitriol reserved for Muslims by the Labour leadership comes down to an as yet not-entirely-tameable internationalist consciousness among Muslim communities in Britain, and their proven willingness to exert this electorally.'Azfar Shafi writes: https://vashtimedia.com/starmers-project-depoliticisation/ @supremacy#KeirStarmer #Starmer #Labour #LabourParty #ideology #elites #neoliberalism #extremeCenter #UK #UKPol #raceMaking #riots #UKRiots #BorisJohnson #moralPanic #policeState #islamophobia #lawAndOrder #stateViolence #police #whiteSupremacy #Southport #standingArmy #depoliticisation #immigration #commonSense #NijjorManush

News outlets didn’t make a mistake. They knowingly aired disinformation and peddled fake news.
