An author by the name of Emily…

Reviewed on 2021-05-04T10:42:08

An author by the name of Emily Shugerman published an article titled "Meet Redneck Revolt,the radical leftist group arming working-class people so they can defend minorities". There is no criticism, just extremists words and viewpoints. Emily is a feminist and ultra-pro-abortion advocate and has retweeted a communist union's messages. Why would a journalist do that? According to her site, currently "Emily Shugerman covers the intersection of gender, culture and politics for The Daily Beast. Her work focuses on the untold, occasionally upsetting, and often triumphant stories of women's lives." Truth is, the people she has promoted are extremists and sick in the head. At Charlottesville a professor carried a rifle, and admitted on his Facebook of taking perverse pleasure in the events that occured that day. A man was driving towards a left-wing militia (Emily's words), and as he slowed down, they ran over and hit his vehicle with bats, by spooking the driver, they were defending ethics, being anti-fascist and not being confrontational. Yes. This is no joke. Because of these people who came to Charlottesville (out of town) Heather Danielle Heyer got hit and died RIP. Of course this was spun as an attack, and is even called so on Wikipedia. An activist was hanging out with communists, gave them space. They are rednecks supposedly so how is this armed and dangerous professor and his students rednecks, and working-class? Is there any doubt the Independent is a communist propaganda outlet?

Embarrassingly bad

Reviewed on 2021-05-03T15:45:51

Poor standard of English, even lower standard of reporting. Virtue-signalling nonsense, time after time.I consider myself centre-left politically; this ‘news’ outlet is so far left it’s more or less in communist territory.

Independent? Not now

Reviewed on 2021-04-25T12:02:39

I bought the Independent when it first came out because I wanted to read something unbiased with no political allegiance and for a good many years this is what I got.I am now horrified at what the paper has become: a Marxist propaganda machine that seems to hate whites and love blacks and employs black journalists to write lies about racism. The coverage of George Floyd was a classic editorial. Written by a black journalist it said how afraid blacks were of being killed by police. How about white people being killed by the police? How about blacks killing white police officers? How about black on black crime that kills more blacks than anything else? American blacks should be more scared of each other than the police. And turning into an icon a thug who spent five years in jail for armed assault with a deadly weapon. If he is your hero, you should die from shame. The paper is now just a biased BLM propaganda machine.

Indie fobs complaints of its Racist agenda

Reviewed on 2021-03-30T06:09:02

Tried to make a complaint about the news outlet quoting a racist comedian as a supposed authoritativesource but was totally fobbed off by the Independent's Richard Best. He was blatantly defending quoting - David Baddiel - who had Blacked-up mocking Black ethnicity and invented the slur 'Pineappleheads' for Black Britons wearing traditional Afro-Diaspora locks & cornrows. Black complaints are simply deemed second class. By contrast if you’re a member of a white ethnic group, doing propaganda for Israel's white colonial conquest and apartheid domination in the middle-east, then you can make unsubstantiated anti-Semitism smears about Black/Indigenous anti-colonial activists, with the Indy’s full support. The Independent is just a racist propaganda machine.
