The Telegraph crosses the line. Abusing the privilege of their position.

Daily Telegraph accused of 'blatant bullying' 

In any other forum, this atrocious front page and its subsequent "story", would be condemned as blatant bullying and intimidation.Those producing such material in print or in speech, would quite rightly, be hauled before disciplinary bodies of their respective organisations or bodies, and subjected to sanctions and other measures designed to punish and deter others.

Not so with the Telegraph and the other rabid right "newspapers", who today fill their wretched pages with government propaganda to discredit and intimidate any MP's who now, or will during the future passage of the EU withdrawal bill, dare to vote against the governments ill considered and dangerous proposals. The Conservative whips will be working overtime in the coming weeks, in their quest to push through legislation which is both irresponsible and absurd. In this, the hysterical press led no doubt by the Telegraph will hound, insult, abuse and intimidate MP's who oppose the legislation and vote accordingly. The astounding thing about this outrageous attack on the Democratic processes of this country, is that the press slink off and hide behind the argument of "Freedom of the Press" as they throw their snide and disparaging comments over the parapets of press immunity. It is abhorrent that there seems to be no sanction or other measures that can be taken against those newspapers who regularly abuse the privilege of their position.


There is a line between support for a particular side in any argument and outrageous and abusive intimidation and bias. The Telegraph has crossed that line.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
