I am.

You've been called out on it before. Can you show me some of the "propaganda" the paper is "full of"?

I have been told it isn't true before, of course that means nothing. I could put link after link for the rest of my life showing how biased and full of propaganda the Guardian is. Strange to think that people who come across with an average intelligence can be completely manipulated and have no free thinking whatsoever.

Deutsch, once put a link up by a man called Cummings ( I think that was his name.) He once wrote something I read that said people with good education and university degrees are the easiest to manipulate in politics, as they find it difficult to think outside the box. He said they are so worried about looking silly in front of their peers that they prefer to agree than think for themselves.
I am not saying you are intelligent, so you don't need to think about that too much, however....

One would be a start.

And why do you dislike this particular paper more than the Mail or Express? or less than the Times, Telegraph, Independent etc..
 
I think THM's post was talking about me.

If you can post link after link, can we have a few then please?
 
Our results show that the Guardian had a more balanced stance, with a smaller gap between Remain and Leave articles at the start of the campaign period (43% pro Remain vs. 28% pro Leave). Yet, over time, the percentage of its pro Remain articles grew to 46% overall, far exceeding Leave ones (which decreased to 16% overall).

What this suggests is, that in common with many other publications, The Guardian had a preferred position that hardened as the date of the referendum grew closer. This research also shows that across all media the leave campaign had much more support.

It does not support the argument that The Guardian was publishing only propaganda.

I don't dislike them. The headlines frighten me enough not to read the Mail or Express. The Guardian has some decent articles, but is very manipulative politically.

It amazes me that you need me to put up a link showing the Guardian's propaganda. It almost like asking me to show why Dean Saunders was a shit manager a Wolves.

Yup, it is truly staggering that you are being asked for some proof of a fairly controversial statement.

Making. It. Up.

I have just put up some research undertaken by a respected organisation that does not come to that conclusion.
 
I'm not sure you understand what "propaganda" means THM. Hint - it's not just things you disagree with.

Haha. Don't worry I will and be warned there is plenty of it. Just having a nice pint in Morpeth and in enjoying good company. It will be my pleasure to come back to this at a later date.

Can you find me some links with Guardian propaganda, please. You are so good at finding research that backs up your shit surely you can find some propaganda on the Guardian, for me.

If you look really hard I'm sure you'll find all this "propaganda" somewhere next to the evidence of Obama's wiretap.
 
THM you wonder why people get wound up about the way you post and call you a WUM or a troll or whatever other adjective that befits the persona.

You boldly claim that you can "put link after link for the rest of your life" to demonstrate the Guardian propaganda, get asked for ONE link and then still 2 hours later you skirt around it.

Here are some helpful hints and tips:
