I think when you're engaged in a political battle, it's understandable that many people choose to ignore the downsides of people who are 'on our side', especially if they appear to be effective in the fight. I hate The Canary, but I do recognise that their content played a role in the unexpectedly good showing from the Labour Party in 2017. I think the impact they had on the campaign meant some people have given them more of a pass than perhaps they would have otherwise.

Because it's the shittiest, condescending, bad faith take on why I asked you that question obviously, & akin to me asking you two when did you actually stop beating your wives?
I'm just sick of all the smug tbh.
Luckily I have work to do, enjoy.
Is this a 'good faith take' on my posts on the Starmer thread?

I have no idea what else you could have meant. What does her Jewish wife think? Why ask me even? It’s irrelevant to the question in hand. Just like it’s irrelevant when anyone who is claiming not to be racist has friends belonging to this that or the other ethnic group.
Posing questions then pretending not to know the implications of them is pretty shitty too.

Is that a serious attempt to satirise criticism of the Canary?The Canary? Spit. That's nothing.
He's published stuff on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and we all know what a cesspit of far-right antisemitic loonspuddery he's sharing a platform with THERE

The centrist anger seems to be that Corbyn has done an interview with independent media organisation that has not got establishment approval.
These same centrists have no problem with themselves doing interviews with far worse publications/radio stations. No anger that a centrist MP did an interview with a Sun journalist who sourced neo nazi websites to draw up a hit list of Labour Party members, no problem with the leader doing radio phone ins with a virulent racist.
And then the 'whataboutery' nonsense is wheeled out to to cover their rank hypocrisy.
Then wash and repeat.
This is all about the gatekeepers stamping their feet and imposing their views on what is acceptable media and which is not, and all too often, the media they are gatekeeping is far worse than anything the Canary has published.

Anyone in the least bit critical of Corbyn is a "centrist", obvs...

With ACG stalwarts like danny la rouge as the centrists, the Overton window of Urban has truly shifted!

I am just pointing out you share the same rank hypocrisy and obsession with gatekeeping on what is and what is not acceptable media.

You're the ranting nutter in a party with these centrists and stalinists.

Is that a serious attempt to defend Facebook and Twitter? It's just that the 'sharing a platform' seems a bit of a stretch. Isn't it better to criticise what he actually says? (and I'm not assuming that's going to be anything earth shattering).
But yes I'd much prefer that he gave an interview to a properly socialist magazine that nobody reads.

What is this "gatekeeping" you're going on about. It's bizarre when people who spew their opinion all over the place claim they haven't been allowed to speak.

No one has claimed that. It is the endless attacks by hypocrites I have an issue with. The canary can hold their own. They successfully transformed from an advertisement to a subscription model when the blue tick bad faith actors started attacking their advertisers.
