I don't hold any opinion on Humphreys. Nor do I particularly care about Brexit. But certainly if the elected Green Party members were as prominent or well known as unelected Farage, Bloom, Hamilton, Widdicombe etc it would give an idea of just how much media has to play in amplified the 'far right' position and feeding the populism/racism. However, the flip side is how every instance of a liberal bias is highlighted and amplified. It is critical to the narrative of victimhood, especially using trigger words like 'out of touch with the people' or 'its a matter for free speech'. If I worked for a week at the BBC and posted on Facebook how I came across all these "remoaners" in the canteen, there is a 50/50 shot it would be published in the Telegraph or Daily Mail. It needs to be amplified. Its ultimately what allows for Cummings and Johnson to lie with no consequence. If Emily Matliss points it out, she gets reprimanded.

[QUOTE="HawkWing, post: 2618850, member: 65640"] I don't hold any opinion on Humphreys. Nor do I particularly care about Brexit. But certainly if the elected Green Party members were as prominent or well known as unelected Farage, Bloom, Hamilton, Widdicombe etc it would give an idea of just how much media has to play in amplified the 'far right' position and feeding the populism/racism. However, the flip side is how every instance of a liberal bias is highlighted and amplified. It is critical to the narrative of victimhood, especially using trigger words like 'out of touch with the people' or 'its a matter for free speech'. If I worked for a week at the BBC and posted on Facebook how I came across all these "remoaners" in the canteen, there is a 50/50 shot it would be published in the Telegraph or Daily Mail. It needs to be amplified. Its ultimately what allows for Cummings and Johnson to lie with no consequence. If Emily Matliss points it out, she gets reprimanded. [/QUOTE]
