It's Amazing What Contravenes 'CiF' Comment Policy, Isn't It?

Amanda Marcotte on the 'Planned Parenthood' debacle in the states:
Lila Rose – an activist who schooled with James O'Keefe in the art of deceptive editing and other dishonest manipulation of undercover footage in service of rightwing aims – has been around a long time.
To which I repled:
"Take out the 'right-wing' and substiture 'left-wing' and she sounds a lot like Michael Moore..."
Harmless enough comment?

Clearly not:

Do you ever get any to stick, or have you been black balled? ;)

Good point! I suspect they only moderate the 'usual suspects' obviously you've been marked out as a troublemaker. :-)

This minor dent to your pride should buff out before it is noticed. To be spared the substitute à la Gadget insertion was relatively honourable treatment.

Aside from the issue of the Guardian's despicable censorship policy I'm also becoming heartily sick of being told that bad journalism is only ever "right-wing".

They don't like it up 'em!

Which makes it all the more delicious and fun.

Keep up the good work.

Surprising more than I thought I would. And it's NEVER the ones I expect to get zapped that do...

"I suspect they only moderate the 'usual suspects' obviously you've been marked out as a troublemaker."

A badge of pride, indeed :)

" To be spared the substitute à la Gadget insertion was relatively honourable treatment."

Heh! No, the 'CiF' crowd would definitely draw the line at that.

"...I'm also becoming heartily sick of being told that bad journalism is only ever "right-wing"."

Me too.

"Which makes it all the more delicious and fun."

It certainly does. :)
