Anyone still reading The Guardian? "Guardian" of what one asks? The Establishment?
Is there another option to the editor being either a moron or else complicit? Unless there is an exculpatory explanation quickly forthcoming that passes the smell test, some people need to be fired.
Needless to say, The Guardian has joined a growing list of unreliable media that I will no longer be linking to, at least until there is a change in management.

Top Ecuadorian Diplomat Destroys Guardian's Claim That Manafort Visited Assange

Excellent article. Thorough and well-written.
ReplyDelete“Craig Murray calls Harding an ‘MI6 tool,’ but to this writer, Harding seems a wannabe-spook, hanging from the coat-tails of anonymous intelligence officers and publishing their drivel as fact without so much as a skeptical blink.”
I doubt that Harding knows any actual spooks. Harding is a paid liar who fabricates trash in collusion with other paid liars like Fernando Villavicencio. Both are garden variety bullshitters.
Out of curiosity, just now I checked today’s issue of the Guardian. There is no mention today of Assange or Manafort, but the original garbage from six days ago is still accessible. The Guardian is too embarrassed to further comment on it, and too ashamed to delete it, since to delete it would be to admit that the Guardian was caught lying.
