    It seems not everyone can work that out

    Here’s the thing. You have twice insinuated I don’t understand the news, or how it works. , it demeans us both.

    I feel insulted and you come across as a smug prick.

    I was just saying that different papers spin the news differently. There are no papers in the UK that lack bias.

    There is no such thing as “just reporting the news”. The very selection of what you report onis the news.

    We could get into an academic debate, if you want. We could wheel out Sontag and Marshall McLuhan. We could go over all the basic first year undergraduate lessons in journalistic practice, or we could just drop this and move on.

    I suspect you won’t be able to restrain yourself though. You’ll have to point out for a third time that you think some people are incapable of being able to understand things that you, yourself, seem to be the one struggling with.
