You ' re basically just the opposite of the people who praise Telesur and Russia Today or worse yet Global Research . Well , I admit to like the BBC radio 4 , some of their programs teach me a lot . Of course , I don ' t trust BBC ' s political coverage , and much less the political coverage by the government sponsored press of my own country . It ' s not financed by the government it covers so it must be more trustworthy . Nah , I say something like this if it is financed by the government it covers , then it is not trustworthy . Of course , something not financed by the government can also be not trustworthy , but I not dismiss them beforehand , I need to see evidence for its untrustworthiness is this even a word ? . No attempt is made to analyze the content of the site , instead you just drink it up . I analyze their sources , they are usually good . I also agree with many of their opinions . Since you are admitting to trolling , I ' ll just ignore you from now on . Yes , I troll people of your ilk and try to be the smug idiot you described to them . With reasonable Socialists , I try to engage in reasonable conversation maybe I do not succeed doing that , but that is another question .
