I’ve edited the title of this article. I still believe that the UK govt. is planning for war and that the talking up of war by the Guardian defense editor, Dan Sabbagh, is an indicator of this.

Hello, over the past couple of months I’ve been watching the coverage by the Guardian UK relating to security and defence. Since they should be a left-leaning newspaper and not in favour of supporting the current right-wing government, I would not expect the paper to be releasing articles which are either right-leaning or nationalistic. From looking at the articles the Guardian has published, I have identified a bias which favours the currently right wing government or favours a nationalistic stance. For example, if one were to look at the current defence editor, Dan Sabbagh’s articles, it is clear that military recruitment, and a lead up to war are some of the most recent articles that he has authored as well as another article which seems to suggest that military spending should increase.

I’d expect this sort of war preparation speech from the likes of the Daily Mail but from the Guardian? Because of this, I think we can assume two terrible things. One, that the possibility of war will significantly increase between the United Kingdom and some other nation in the foreseeable period. Two, that the current British press is significantly affected by pro-government bias, and may not be ‘free’ to disclose it’s stories in the same way that it used to after for example, the Snowden disclosures. Either way, a dystopian future might await us. What is Lemmy’s thoughts on the matter?
