Re: Just before we draw the line under this

Posted by walter on November 1, 2009, 10:52 pm, in reply to "Just before we draw the line under this"

Something has just struck me. I don’t think anyone here considers the Guardian to be radical, John, do they? Some radical content yes (but always dwarfed by propaganda, we are told). And much factual war reporting that is useful for making antiwar cases with (albeit with huge issues of framing we are hastily assured).

So is the ‘fig leaf’ argument not a straw man (as it were)?

What are we left with as Guardian descriptor – left of centre? Well its much more left than the tabloids than the BBC.

Still nothing for the biblical fig leaf to cover, that I can see.
