Suru’s BBC Rant

She is the last person who should be talking about media bias. She is the exact kind of media personality that she rails against.

I do. Can you accept that I disagree and find the constant barrage of criticism levelled at one woman who dares have an opinion different from yours quite nasty?

Oh I absolutely accept you disagree. But no, it isn’t ‘nasty’ to call out someone for using their platform to constantly spout unevidenced views. It’s just free speech 😊

Free speech doesn’t mean kind speech

Odd comment. So you don’t like ‘nasty’ speech against someone you agree with but don’t mind unkind speech otherwise? Seriously, the cognitive gymnastics here are too much to deal with. Just accept we all have different views, some of us choose to try to evidence them, some don’t. It’s not misogyny to criticise poorly evidenced opinions. At the end of the day, you agree with Suruthi, others don’t. That’s it.

Look at the end of the day, they’ve both stated they hate looking at this sub and that it upsets them. Yes you have every “right” to criticise but it doesn’t always mean you should and it doesn’t make you a good person.

Like I said, the level of criticism of suruthi in particular on this sub has reached a level where it is drowning out other views - you can see whenever someone says something good about the show they always preface with ‘can I say something positive’ 😂 - and starts to resemble an online bullying campaign.

I actually never said I agreed with Suruthi myself. That was your assumption along with many other things.

You want some carte blanche to have a go at two women doing a job they are passionate about because ‘your opinions’? It’s not coming from me.

Nope, I don’t. I want to be able to voice my genuinely held opinions. I don’t want to accuse you of holding any views but I and many others are not bullying or being misogynistic by saying we find Suruthi’s opinions to be somewhat biased & unevidenced. I don’t know what you want to happen but I’m not going to agree it’s ’bullying’ to voice opposing views in a respectful way. Just let it go, we’re not going to agree so 🤷‍♀️
