No I think people are saying that the general outcry from the media class is somewhat hard to bear when the media have basically created a fake country that allows the right wing to flourish

I didn’t really see the media outcry, I don’t really like reading that self-serving shit either, I was only reacting to seeing the video and the replies to Sean’s message.

You should reply to whoever you have an issue with rather than screaming into the void

I’m replying to you. Im not screaming and there’s no void.

It is on the fuck the police thread.

I stand corrected, it wasn’t when I last looked.

Who is saying that exactly???

I’ve just read through the posts and can’t understand how you would think the consensus is ‘that guy deserved to be harassed’?

As @FKA_Adam_Jeffson mentioned, the ‘fuck the BBC’ was about the BBC platforming hate groups and the far right and significant bias in some reporting / programming. E.g. the whole Panorama series on how the transgenders are corrupting innocent youth that helped to completely mainstream transphobia as a ‘valid’ social view.

Minor title edit to ‘observation’, because ‘observance’ has connotations of deference, so didn’t really mean what I was going for. Sorry for the faff.

Let’s hope Sean doesn’t have any friends who are cops…

There are people on here do have friends who are cops and they have pointed out the thread does not sit well with them because of it.

Personally I don’t think the situations are comparable to the point of renaming the police thread, though I appreciate some will.

#1856

yeah they’re obviously not that similar (working at the BBC doesn’t automatically make someone an agent of state violence). I think its worth being more strategic and disaggregating critique of the BBC a bit more than many other institutions that should be dismantled.

Hopefully we are now striking that balance.
