Jonathan Cook explains why George Monbiot's new book about capitalism and neoliberalism, is hypocritical, coming from someone who works for The Guardian.

Monbiot has always defended his paper [The Guardian] as exceptional: the one supposedly “nice” corporate outlet. He has decried all other media as unequivocally as he does capitalism. But he insists the Guardian is different. How?

If he's right about capitalism, and I think he is, then it is difficult to understand how he has not reached the conclusion that the Guardian too is a product of capitalism’s coercive, destructive, exploitative mode of economic organisation.

The Guardian depends on corporate advertising. In other words, it has to keep its advertisers happy – that is, advertisers embedded in, and enriched by, the capitalist system.

The Guardian is owned and run by a corporation, the Guardian Media Group, that is tied into a complex of other corporations with economic interests entirely dependent on the success of a capitalist system driven by consumption and profit. (Some gullible people still mistakenly believe the paper is owned by some charity-like trust rather than a limited company.)

That the Guardian is deeply rooted in the West's capitalist system makes sense of why it took such a central role in trashing and smearing Jeremy Corbyn, the only leader of a major British party in living memory to seek to challenge the neoliberal status quo...


 
May Allah and his prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) deliver the election to Donald Trump, if for nothing else than to spite all the humorless and insufferable "White Dudes For Harris" types like Johnnie Ray. Inshallah!

Look at that joke of a ...marshmallow.

That's the selling point, Johnnie Ray. Get on your Wal-mart scooter already. Trump is out of control. He's camp. If he isn't elected president, who else is going to dance to YMCA and give rambling speeches about sharks and electrocution, or Arnold Palmer being well-hung?

Orange man wonderfully surreal, not bad.

Yeah, and that’s exactly what we want in the leader of the free world. A hearty ol’ laugh while democracy and common decency evaporate.
 
Did anyone see Kamala Harris' interview with Bret Baier? She is the unstable one. She was shrill and hysterical and would not answer a question, lied a lot too. Naturally the Dems are worshipping at the Altar of Abortion like they usually do, calling the Sup Ct decision "The Trump Abortion Ban" and claiming women are dying from it, which of course, is bullshit. The Dems could have codified abortion when they had total control, but didn't. She also natterd on about border patrol and the bill that was not passed, failing to mention Sanders, Markey and some other prominent Dems voted against it, Trump could not have stopped anyone, he is not in office.
 
Meanwhile Johnny Marr (The clever one :guitar:)
Has just finished a very successful shared twenty one date tour of America/Canada with James. #realmusicians
Dorrissey on the other hand now enjoys spending time with his gofer Damien watching and posting hardcore fan amateur video mash ups of his yesteryears pop songs via his tin pot site Central.

Johnny is back now Steve. Time to man up and make a public apology for all the shit you hurled in public at him. All because you’re a thick twat who doesn’t understand anything about the business side of being a famous artist/name.

Thick as pig shit :mock:

Elementary my dear Watson !!!!
However !!!!!!
If you can’t keep up with the debate may I suggest instead of trying to deflect matters, it’s probably best to just shut the 4ck up. You’re coming across as a thick twat just like silly Steven.
Chow, bye hun :handpointup:
