    Facebook is in my opinion far worse with it sharing much more in the form of propaganda than perhaps twitter. Both though are limited by who you follow or who you’re friends with and if you want to find people that share just your own views it’s easy

    Which is fine if the "mainstream" press are quoting reputable news sources from Twitter. But it seems they take the most imflammatory viewpoint they can find from either side of a story and pass it off as "public opinion".

    I shouldn't be surprised... whilst my family-member has a very reputable position where they have to be very careful what they publish from a legal point of view... i know from the horses mouth that a great deal of stories with less legal implication are just put together in such a way to generate comments and clicks... which pushes a website further up the food-chain and allows a greater reach for their subsequent articles... a never-ending sprial and little regard for any balanced reporting.

    Maybe but I don’t see that. You have to be brave to post contentious stuff on twitter as anybody can see it and tear it apart if it deserves it

    I don't actually, but if you can provide some, objective, non-twitter-type gossip, real non-partisan evidence, they yeap, he's a racist.

    In the meantime..... https://www.breitbart.com/live/vice-...sts-criminals/ (sadly also not objective). And I can't be arsed to put links to key black academics such as John McWhorter, or Shelby Steele, or black activists such as Candice Owens, who repudiate racists claims about Trump, or his ethnic minority supporters (of which there are many).

    Like I said above, the term racist is now well over used to cover a wealth of nasty behavior, including lot of Trump's, which disadvantages all sorts of groups in US society, but none fit the definition of Trump believing certain 'racial' groups are inherently inferior, to his.

    And we haven't even got into whether the concept of race is just a made-up construct!

    and McWhorter like most of us, is far from being a Trump sympathiser. I like listening to him. I don't care what he says, he has such a calming tone

    I would expect on this forum 99% fellrunning and 1% other crap

    Too many keyboard warriors who should be standing for Parish Councils to change the world!

    Seems about right eccentric. Problem is the 99% fell running content is pretty quiescent at the moment meaning that the only sound you hear is the rowdy 1%
