Another sign of someone going to the dogs: ***** Media Lens @medialens 15 Jan 2018 Was even hard-right McCarthyism this thuggish? I guess so. But our culture really has sunk into a dark, ugly, brutal place. And at least in the 1950s their paranoia had the excuse that nuclear annihilation seemed a real possibility, unlike now. [image] 'I haven't seen sunlight in so long, I don't remember it' - Julian Assange Graham Linehan 🎗️ @Glinner 15 Jan 2018 Good! Good good good good good. Long may it continue, you creepy rapist collaborator. - https://nitter.poast.org/medialens/status/952909965550850048#m https://nitter.poast.org/Glinner/status/952879838465085440#m ***** So maybe there's an element of misguided chivalry in there of the #metoo variety that fails to recognise that women are human and just as capable of lies & duplicity as anyone. Also, again, an inability to fairly consider evidence when his biases have been triggered. Seems like ML had a fairly respectful series of exchanges with Linehan, mainly from 2014 and before, not that he seems to have learned anything from them judging by his current attitudes (you can't see what his replies were for most of them) - https://nitter.poast.org/medialens/search?f=tweets&q=glinner Anyway, I've probably spent too much time on this now!
