we all know that the DM is the paper everyone loves to hate - however are they really any worse than the offerings from most of the rest of the meeja?

Yes, I know that there are huge number of clickbait articles on their website (I guess this subsidises which means it's still free to look at - for better or worse), but other media outlets also rely on these
Yes they are biased to the right - but are they any worse in their bias than the sun , the express, the mirror, the Daily Telegraph, the observer or the graun?
Yes they've had some distinctly dodgy associations in the past - but I suspect so do quite a few of the others
Some of their opinion pieces are st - but then the gruan has owen jones...

Anti-fa is a catch all term used by the far right to demonise anyone they don't like. Usually an indication that the user doesn't inhabit reality.
And "far right" is what, exactly?
If you need that explained to you, you shouldn't join any political discussions.
TBF it does need explaining since there are a good portion of the electorate who think that the sainted Mrs T was 'far right

Utter bks.
How can it be utter bks when it's so blatantly obvious? I could reel off plenty who fit the criteria.
Seems odd that only the two ‘new’ posters on the thread think PHs is remotely left wing.

Is that because

A) you don’t know what you’re talking about or
B) because you’re both really right wing and got banned previously or
C) because you’re right?
I'd say that there's a difference between PH as a whole and NP&E with regard to politics....
