Very clever, there.
Nah. You just chose a poor example.

That's a matter of opinion, which is based largely upon your assumptions about the perception of British economists.

Um, I don't remember any economists chiming in. Just one person. A reporter. In the UK.

Unless she's the ultimate unicorn, she's a lefty that's preening about a lefty subject, while at the same time making herself and her profession look good while simultaneously making Brexit look bad.

And THIS is the example YOU picked.

I can find about 600 doctors who say there are more than 2 genders in a few minutes.

so i guess that means it's true since it's harder to find an opposing dr to speak on tv and willing to get cancelled and threatened with violence because they aren't part of the hivemind...

got it.






Guess it's true! The mob has spoken.

Jeez, I cant seem find anyone on facebook or twitter with an opposing viewpoint, therefore the majority is correct and it would be biased to bring on a dissenter. that would be a threat to the mob democracy. derp.

Are you blind?

The entire point being made by Emily Maitlis is "It was easy for us to find a whole bunch of economists who feared Brexit, and hard for them to find one who supported it. But the BBC made us put one of each on the air side by side, and act as though this was balanced representation."

So, yeah. Her whole point was to make her profession look bad, because they presented the public with a distorted view of what economists had to say about Brexit. Nothing political at all.



Moving on... The following it not an actual Chevy ad. It is satire, from two years ago, which aged rather well:

Either you have the dustiest dry wit on this platform, or you simply can't be helped. Emily is saying, "I really wanted to show everyone that the knowledgeable experts all agree with me, but our extremely high morals at the BBC forced us to compare "our" side--which is right--to the one crackpot that is pro-Brexit."

C'mon Joe, PLEASE tell me you're troll level 99!! Otherwise I'll feel like I've been arguing with an eight year old all this time.

I can't see anything there. Is there some secret to making them visible?

It's genuinely interesting how two people can look at the same picture, and see entirely different things. Both of them convinced that they, and they alone, are correct in their perception.

People reviewed this and thought it was ok (minus the crooked cross and stash obvi).


I'm concerned.
