Al Bundy Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 39 minutes ago, Magilla said: Simple, just look at their coverage of the thing you're whining about in The Guardian on any given day... imagine my surprise to discover that all of them mentioned the race of those involved too! Here's one from the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12080427/Daniel-Penny-page-GiveSendGo-raised-1-million-donations.html "Police questioned Penny, who is white, in the aftermath but released him without charges. Neely was black." FT: https://www.ft.com/content/a781c4f8-8782-4cb5-8489-f03612c1c368 "Penny, who is white" If race really is as "completely irrelevant" to this story, as you claim... how come every other paper who ran it also mentioned the race of those involved?

Annie Bynnol Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 1 hour ago, Al Bundy said: Morning Annie. Can you specifically recall the printing articles mentioning the race of folk when it's completely irrelevant? In response to your comment that "The guardian wants you to know even though it's completely irrelevant.... One is white and the other is black. Can anyone tell me why they think this is important?", I found that the following said the same: Daily Mail The Telegraph The Times Sky News Financial Times ABC(Australia) Radio New Zealand The Japan Times Keighley News Kidderminster Shuttle Somerset County Gazette amongst many, many others. I also pointed out that your link was not a Guardian opinion or editorial but to an article by a New York journalist. Therefore in this case The Guardian is no more or less guilty of "...mentioning the race of folk when it's completely irrelevant..." than hundreds of other news outlets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awfully nasty article, bit of body shaming misandry thrown in for good measure. Edited May 26, 2023 by Al Bundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like you've forgotten your own posts over in the Biden thread... hell you're even responding to yourself these days!

Be charitable Magilla, the humidity level as been very high today in the Dominican Republic. The Aussies refer to it as ‘going troppo’. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=going troppo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
