What's disturbing is why the Guardian's readers aren't presented with Cohen's views, at all. Cohen is, if anything, the archetypal American liberal, so one would imagine his assessment would fit nicely with huge swathes of the Guardian's core readership, as he speaks their language.
But they aren't allowed to hear his views, almost like they don't even and cannot exist, like there is no other way of looking at events unfolding in the United States, at all; only the 'right' way.
That the writers employed at the Guardian have now lurched into a new conservatism, a new orthodoxy, a new form of totalitarian ideology, that denies that there's an alternative and censors reality, blinding its own readers, making them deaf and dumb... is really disturbing.
