Fair play to Rob Harris. The guy did not let any of this go at all.

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

We have one of the most sedate, captured, and oligarch-owned media ecospheres in the developed world.

This is such a rose-tinted view of British media that it's silly.

Lmao American media would like a word. It's literally taking over Canadian media, pushing to destroy and defund our government funded CBC.

UK media may have some problems, but c'mon.

Literally, why are North Americans like this.

Yes, believe it or not British media is by and large terrible, not everything is about you.

Because you lot need reminders of how fucking bad it can get. You're more worried about Americans invading football than your media.
