Peter Katsis statement: "What Is The Goal Of The Guardian?" - Morrissey Official FB (31 May, 2019)

"WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE GUARDIAN?

I'm sure many of you may have seen this as it came out yesterday morning.

As one more in an endless string of related stories from The Guardian, in some ways it was nothing new.

But in thinking about the whole matter a bit further…...

I asked myself…….

What is the goal of the Guardian?

To see if they can ridicule M into retirement?

Stop him from having a livelihood?

Stop him from having fans?

Have they been as hard on any other artists?

I really don’t know the answers to these questions.

I’m also an American so what can I truly know about British politics?

But does Tim Jonze believe he has to destroy M’s influence and credibility in order to save England?

Or is he still upset that he had to write a retraction for what he said about Morrissey when he headed up the now defunct N.M.E.?

Mr Jonze made sure to mention that pressure from Morrissey’s lawyers forced him to lie and say “we do not believe Morrissey is a racist”.

So, since he admitted that he lied in print, to save his ass, does that not make Mr Jonze current motivations questionable?

Can we ever trust what he says?

At this point does anyone even care about what they say at The Guardian?

Mr Jonze questioned whether the Guardian should promote others to “boycott California Son” .

Isn’t that exactly what he has been trying to do these last few months?

Does any other paper attempt to track down guest vocalists 3 months before an album even comes out
and brow beat them until they say they regret being on M’s album?

Mr Jonze claims The Guardian’s only agenda is to bring the truth to light and present objective journalism.

Did M wear a For Britain “badge” or a small For Britain “pin” ?

Perhaps Mr Jonze said…”Well a “badge” certainly sounds a lot bigger….let’s use that!!!"

Morrissey also wears Malcolm X pins and James Bernard pins.

That is of course not worth mentioning because it doesn’t help prove The Guardian’s agenda.

Nor does the fact that M covered songs on the CS album made famous by Dionne Warwick and The Fifth Dimension.

So why not mention that? Well…..it must be a fluke.

Instead the Guardian had to dig up an ancient quote from 1986 where Morrissey said he "detests….black modern music”.

That proves it - right? Give me a break!

Does The Guardian really care about objective journalism? Or care about journalism at all?

Are they just desperate to get eyeballs on stories to save their dwindling advertising income?

Or is this possibly just an endless vendetta, a personal feud being carried out by Mr Jonze?

And by the way…..

Did Morrissey stop being a provocateur? When was that exactly?

Plus, does anyone care what Mr Jonze’s personal friend Billy Bragg, says (or creates) these days?

Does anyone care if Bragg is “devastated” about anything?

Did his last album or any of the singles chart in the UK sales chart?

California Son entered the UK Sales Chart at # 4 today.

The British fans have shown their opinion.

It can also be seen as a comment on what most people think about The Guardian's. - PK"

Regards,
FWD.

Billy Bragg lives in a luxurious multi-million pound country mansion in one of England's most richest, desired (and whitest) areas.

How come socialists are so often rich?

How come people who write for the Guardian (or indeed any paper) are never working class?

And now that black people and minorities are fully (over) represented in the theatre, on TV and in advertising - how come the working class are extinct from all these things?

Ever feel you're being cheated by double-talking hypocrites on a mass scale?

8000 people bought the album. only 8000. they are really pissed at Moz HQ

thats the outcome when u flirt with racism

I assume he meant James Baldwin

He's rubbish. Mike Baldwin from Coronation Street was much better.

[Thewlis]

Way to go, Peter Katsis!
All facts! All so true!

I'm exhausted with all this
I feel I'm in some nightmarish Moz vs Guardian never ending vortex.

Nail hit firmly on head - thank you!

As I've said before..........I don't remember Skrewdriver waxing lyrical over the best of Aretha Franklin........would have been kind of silly.

I’ve got more respect for Skrewdriver than Moz in the politics department, at least they had the backbone to be straightforward about their beliefs.

For the record, I don’t believe Morrissey has any issue with black people. Racism is not one-size-fits-all. My argument is that Morrissey throwing his arm around a person of color is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, which is mainly centered around immigration and the so-called “Islamization” of England.

 

[GodEmperorMorrissey]

Concern over mass immigration of lower IQ peoples with ideologies that don't mesh with western values isn't racism, it's common sense and patriotism to your homeland

Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings. If Morrissey cares so deeply about his country, how come he lives in America and refuses to pay taxes in the UK?

WTF? pay taxes to Soviet Britain?? So his hard earned money goes to the Skinny Soviets for them to get drunk and coked out?? While none work??

What does that even mean? Sounds fancy but it is empty. You want to enjoy your privilege in a civilized country then it takes strong patriots and identity to maintain it. It was due to the strong heritage and identity of England that it has lasted as long as it has while providing you the comfort to bitch about. If you're for open borders and mass immigration you are indoctrinated. None of those Muslim countries will oblige you the same way you expect England to oblige them. That should make you think.

As far as Morrissey not wanting to pay outrages taxes to your mess of a govt does not mean he has no love for his country

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. I've always wondered where that came from and who suddenly decided to make a blanket judgement. Chocolate cake is the last refuge of the obese. Do I win a prize?

 

[Emotional Guide Dog]

How come Billy Bragg records sell less?

He never sold that many and the last couple haven't been very good.

 

[Morrissey_Sucks]

Yawn. Little American writing nonsense in his attempt to stoke Moz’s ego. Gets more pathetic each day.

And a pin and badge are the same thing - ignorant writer.

 

[Emotional Guide Dog]

He hasn't changed as he? Still obsessed with chart positions like it's the only way he can validate his existence.

What's a 'Little American'?

Put the Soviets and the Third Reich into a blender... and you get Britain.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

So, since he admitted that he lied in print, to save his ass, does that not make Mr Jonze current motivations questionable?

Mr Jonze’s credibility is totally shot

Can we ever trust what he says?

Obviously not

At this point does anyone even care about what they say at The Guardian?

Maybe their advertisers and whatever’s left of their readership that they want to please and keep

Mr Jonze questioned whether the Guardian should promote others to “boycott California Son” .

Isn’t that exactly what he has been trying to do these last few months?

Informative

Does any other paper attempt to track down guest vocalists 3 months before an album even comes out
and brow beat them until they say they regret being on M’s album?

Nope, a low life tactic

Mr Jonze claims The Guardian’s only agenda is to bring the truth to light and present objective journalism.

Did M wear a For Britain “badge” or a small For Britain “pin” ?

Perhaps Mr Jonze said…”Well a “badge” certainly sounds a lot bigger….let’s use that!!!"

Haha, well someone needs to inform
Peter that America has everything in common with England, except for the language.


Morrissey also wears Malcolm X pins and James Bernard pins.

Come on Peter get it together, don’t ya mean Baldwin?


That is of course not worth mentioning because it doesn’t help prove The Guardian’s agenda.

True

Nor does the fact that M covered songs on the CS album made famous by Dionne Warwick and The Fifth Dimension.

So why not mention that? Well…..it must be a fluke.

Yep

Grasping at straws they are

Does The Guardian really care about objective journalism? Or care about journalism at all?

Obviously not

Are they just desperate to get eyeballs on stories to save their dwindling advertising income?

Nail on the head


Or is this possibly just an endless vendetta, a personal feud being carried out by Mr Jonze?

could also be


And by the way…..

He’ll still be provoking long after he’s in the grave

Plus, does anyone care what Mr Jonze’s personal friend Billy Bragg, says (or creates) these days?

Billy who ?

Does anyone care if Bragg is “devastated” about anything?

devastated in his mansion?

Did his last album or any of the singles chart in the UK sales chart?

I’ll have to ask Surface and Thewlis

California Son entered the UK Sales Chart at # 4 today.
