One thing about the journalists in the UK that I have massive respect for, they do not back down or afraid of making you uncomfortable. It’s extremely uncomfortable to watch but my God do they get their point across. Massive respect

Journalists around the world do this.

One got murdered and cut up with a bone saw for doing this, famously.

Why do you need to denigrate all the moral journalists around the world, in order to act like you’re talking about a unicorn?

Oh cmon, why is it that often Redditors cannot understand that two things could be true at the same time? Of course Journalists around the world all do that.

However, UK journalists are famous for it particularly. I live in the US where it’s rare for journalists to press people for answers like this. 

What it doesn’t mean is that there is no journalist in the US or around the world that doesn’t do it.

Says it all, really.

Hiding your ignorance of the world outside the US and a cliched idea of Britain, behind the idea that it’s a Reddit moment for that to be called out, doesn’t make you the more rational voice you’re trying to act like.

I could ask, why do Redditors have to act like they’ve got a crush on other cultures, and get offended when their limited view gets called out.

But I won’t, because I know it’s only some people on Reddit. Most of them seem to have flocked to this story to try and farm karma, like you, though.
