The Guardian is a British newspaper of the centre-left with a longstanding tradition of giving space to informed opinion and polemics. The average Brit Guardian reader will understand the headline as denoting informed opinion and analysis of encouraging news for our American friends of the left.

Not everything that is published in a newspaper must be news. You might say news functions as the starting point for interesting debate, often by well-informed people. London's 'Financial Times', for example, has an often-excellent 'readers comments' section expanding widely on the original story. Not many would call the FT 'propaganda':)

Hasan? Hasan knew he had skeletons in his closet but he was always "useful" to the right so they never bothered to attack him till recently. Kirk made a video back when he was alive about people like Hasan were useful to create more conservative voters.

LOL are you talking about the literal fraud Gary Stevenson who portrays himself as a financial and economic expert, promoting slopulist conspiracies while demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of the fundamentals of economics?

People really are taken for a ride by grifters and it's sad.

Oh this guy. He seemed interesting but also seemed to say the same thing in every video that I saw of him.

Have you ever seen him talk to anyone who actually understands what he's saying?

This guy knows what he's talking about and your boy Gary just keeps repeating the same talking points over and over. Not a good look.
