I’m not a mod, and contextualizing why I believe the USSR was a progressive project despite lacking in queer rights and being queer myself is something I still stand by. Running to MeanwhileOnGrad for some out of context screengrabs doesn’t help your claims.
Plus, all of those claims were reasonable except for nutomic’s, especially in context.
One of those articles is about the death toll of a protest and the other is about where the deaths happened so they’re not exactly contradicting each other.
Alan Donald was the one claiming 10,000 people died on the square, BBC reported that despite it being proven that Alan Donald had fled far before and was lying. Read the articles themselves, not the headlines alone.
BBC reports that 10,000 people died on the square, when the truth is that hundreds died in various areas in Beijing but that the square was peacefully dispersed, which is backed even by Wikipedia.
This is just one example of BBC reporting misinformation and doctoring footage to suit their narratives. It’s not wrong to call it tabloid media.
Alan Donald reported that 10,000 died on the square. Wikileaks proved that this is wrong, the death toll for June 4th was in the hundreds and no deaths occured on the square itself. BBC still reports Alan Donald’s version.
I’m not going to be dragged into a conversation about exactly how many deaths or where they occurred when the article you shared was reporting on the disclosure of a previously secret diplomatic cable.

The bbc is over a hundred years old and rarely fails fact checks I think calling it a tabloid is insane.
BBC has been caught doctoring video footage to make China seem “scarier,” and repeating disproven claims that have been long since debunked. It’s capitalist state run propaganda, similar to RT but for the UK.

I read an article about the disclosure of a previously secret diplomatic cable.

And the implications of the cable are that Alan Donald lied, but BBC sticks with it, because it’s a propaganda outlet.
