RadioactiveWaste Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Can we please draw a distinction between sports coverage in newspapers and the newspaper's editorial stance / news coverage. Whilst I loath the daily mail's editorial stance and news coverage, I don't have any issue with their sports coverage, or the sports coverage of any of the major newspapers really. But you know what, I choose not to buy the mail or use their website. "It's awful and you should be very angry about it" is just the daily mail house style, it gets them clicks and sells them papers. It's not like the guardian or the mirror are full of "DCFC is great" stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guardian supported the Confederacy in the American Civil War, declared Lincoln's Proclamation of Emancipation "abhorrent" and revelled in Lincoln's assassination. Every UK newspaper has good and bad elements, both in what they publish today and going back through their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every UK newspaper has good and bad elements, both in what they publish today and going back through their history. I can't find any direct link to The Guardian calling the Proclamation of Emancipation "abhorrent"; they used that term about Lincoln's time as President after he was assassinated because they were bizarrely anti-Lincoln. The background to why The Guardian supported the South's right to secede can be found in an opinion piece from 10 years ago. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/feb/24/1865-guardian-stance-us-civil-war Undoubtedly wrong headed by today's standards, although Britain as a whole stayed neutral in the American Civil War, so the stance wasn't unusual for the time. The only place I could find a link to The Guardian calling the Proclamation of Emancipation "abhorrent" was a misleading Guido Fawkes hatchet job, which linked to a letter sent to The Guardian in 2008 to get its quote. Anyway, about that takeover...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting a syphilis addled, genocidal maniac's quest for world domination resulting in 450,000 British casualties, is rather more of a 'faux pas' than thinking Lincoln was a bit too progressive, don't you think?
