Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

Telegraph slamming it's rivals - again, you only seem to like media that supports your views, and see any differing views as "woke"...

It’s funny that whenever it is demanded that we justify our arguments and we provide a link to back up what we say, the next tactic is to rubbish the media!

The Telegraph is a respectable newspaper - it is not social media.

If you really cannot see that the Beeb has embraced the woke view of things, I don’t think you can actually assess what is centre ground.

I consume a wide variety of BBC material and can confirm that this woke/pro everything black attitude is now affecting a wide variety of their output.

From religious programming, to plays, from children's material to social science. We even have it with their continuity announcements.

One that has changed a lot in the last 10 years, and made one long time subscriber I know cancel a couple years ago as they didn't recognise it anymore.

The Telegraph can't really be described as the centre ground. I guess it sits at the opposite end of the scale to something like the Socialist Worker.

That’s not what Richard means at all. We are talking about content.

The Telegraph used to be a respectable, and respected, newspaper - I was a subscriber for many years.

Then the Barclay brothers took over.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

If you are considering the bias of TV news channels, it maybe isn't a great idea to use a newspaper considered to be more biased and with questionable credibility and factual accuracy.

If someone asks something politely, it is a request, not a "demand".

You must be fun when your significant other asks you to "please make a cup of tea" - do you reply "Oh, God! More of your unreasonable demands!"
