      And if the Guardian and the Mirror disappears then the “Independent” will be considered too much left-wing, such as online anti-imperialist newspapers accused of disinformation. It’s relative.

      And it’s not surprising that the Guardian and left-leaning newspapers refuse to be owned by billionaires(, although they can still be censored or be forced to go bankrupt if they refuse to be bought).
      We(sterners) believe that even communist medias are allowed, yet we would be unable to cite a single one of them.

    Bit rich of Washington to moralise about human rights abuses on that island of all places.

      They must think “human rights abuses” means when humans get too many rights. I can’t actually recall a time in living memory where they rightfully denounced actual human rights abuses.

    They were decently left wing for a time, at the very least Soc-dem, and they were a decent source of counter culture news that wasn’t covered by main stream media. Kind of like old Vice in its 2010-2016 era.

    After that they were co-opted and sanitized to fit the narrative.

      You either get murdered by the FBI a leftist, or live long enough to become a lib.

    the sanctions aim to restore democracy and respect for human rights

    It’s been like 70 years, maybe you should just take the L and realize Cubans don’t want your “democracy” and the neoliberal shock treatment that’d surely follow.

      Respect for human rights is when is when you make it mandatory to check a child’s genitals before they’re allowed to play sports, and not when you pass the broadest and most permissive queer-friendly legislation on the planet.

    the puppies say that the puppy-killer’s policy of killing puppies is why so many puppies are being killed. the puppy killer says that the puppies simply are not trying hard enough to not be killed.

    The Guardian is about as left wing as the GCHQ is.

    Well they’ve always had a bit of racism deep within their company, after all they did recently discover their links to the slave trade. Despite numerous past discussions which exposed the guardian’s links to slavery.
