Nice try at attempting to slander my character or political stances: but no dice for you. This isn't about my own personal stances. It's about the publication and if you can call it news.
I'm really not sure where the MRA or comments on women came from in my original comment.
The Guardian (And the BBC) used to my main source for international news, and cultural trends until about 2012ish. That's when they started heavily featuring columnists that put out articles similar to the one that I mentioned. I wrote a letter to an editor with a concern, it got ignored. I stopped taking them seriously (as a whole) and reading as a primary source.
- thewarrior 9y agoI don't get what you're saying at all . Publishing opinion pieces that advance a socio-economic agenda is one of the things I expect of a news paper. If you don't agree with it you can disagree with it in the comments, write a letter to the editor, or stop reading. But I like opinion pieces.
- te_chris 9y ago"This isn't about my own personal stances." I'm not trying to 'slander' your character. Your complaint with the Guardian was literally about an article calling out Milo, a controversial bigot who, as was recently revealed by BuzzFeed, fraternises with Nazis for his own gain. This is a pattern I've seen recur among angry MRA/alt-right types - saying they got sick of news source because of something related to feminism. If you're not MRA/alt-right then I'm sorry, but I'd suggest picking your examples more carefully. I'm not sure why the editor owed you a reply either. You're free to not read it. It can't have meant that much to you as you didn't seem to fight it all that hard.
- jrs95 9y agoI'm no fan of Milo (kinda hate the guy honestly), but I'm not sure if "talking with sources about the topic of an article" really qualifies as fraternizing. That sort of thing is somewhat of a job requirement if you intend to write about the topic honestly. What's he supposed to do, not treat this like real journalism and just publish whatever negative quotes he can get from anyone about it?
- nailer 9y agoWhich specific nazis did Milo fraternise with? The Daily Stormer hates him, and he's married to a black man. Or are you using 'fraternises' as 'contacted'? Milo is a journalist, they contact people. The Guardian also contacts nazis. It doesn't mean they are nazis.
