  1. There you are you see…
    The Grauniad Does tell the truth!

    Sometimes….

    Quote:-
    “…..bolstered Peterson’s preferred image as the coolly rational man of science facing down the hysteria of political correctness….”

    Got it in one!

    And again..

    Quote:-
    …However, Peterson goes further, into its most paranoid territory. His bete noire is what he calls “postmodern neo-Marxism” or “cultural Marxism”. In a nutshell: having failed to win the economic argument, Marxists decided to infiltrate the education system and undermine western values with “vicious, untenable and anti-human ideas”, such as identity politics, that will pave the road to totalitarianism….”

    Spot on…

    Quote:-
    “…. who seems obsessed with telling his adoring followers that there is a secret cabal of postmodern neo-Marxists hellbent on destroying western civilisation and that their campus LGBTQ group is part of it?…..”

    Yup!

    What we have here is the lefty lovies favourite rag actually reporting fact by denying it.

    ……Interesting eh?

  2. The Peterson / Newman video on YouTube has at least 20 times more views than any other channel 4 YouTube video published in the last year (6.3m last I checked). Damn right the Guardian should be worried that its feminist agenda is deeply, demonstrably unpopular.

    The Guardian is complicit in the lies about Newman being subject to “misogynist” abuse after the interview. There are now over 80000 comments on the video and anyone with access to the internet can see there is no abuse.

  3. The Guardian loses money every year but unfortunately it is sitting on a cash mountain so it is not going to go bankrupt any time soon.

    It is unfortunate it’s still free as those (increasingly few) articles it still allows comments on attract many more, generally, than the Times or the Telegraph (full disclosure: until my political awakening a few years’ ago I used to believe its garbage myself).

  4. “that lie outside his field of expertise” The Guardianista’s position stated in a nutshell at the end. Everyone but “experts” has to shut up. The “experts” being of course those in accord with their view. One can see the hatred for people who are in fact liberals like Jordan Peterson and Melanie Philips, who would have written for the Grauniad in the days prior to identity politics. A hatred because they know the depth of the Cultural Marxist project in our educational institutions and so reveal it. True Conservatives tend to be oblivious and blunder into “own goals” seemingly oblivious to the larger “game” their virtue signalling contributes to.
    Such liberals as the Professor are dangerous to our self appointed “experts” because they can see and say what is actually going on. Conservatives (such as Trump and Cameron) are as likely to do something “for the ladies” as not, believing the Chivalrous clothing is real.

    • It’s very dangerous for a journalist to claim people shouldn’t talk about things “that lie outside their field of expertise” lest someone ask what field of expertise the journalist has. Apparently, informed opinion doesn’t cut it any more.
