What a relief for the DT!
i read the Telegraph for various reasons – to be entertained by the clownishness of their writers, the venom of their opinions and for the recipes of Diana Henry. But it's not a serious newspaper anymore.
Decency can’t survive long there same with any Murdoch enterprise
Peter Oborne is a conservative in outlook…but that doesn't stop him from wanting truth in journalism or bringing truth to power. He outlines perfectly the problem with newspapers in Britain today, they are not a voice for truth, instead they are a trumpet for the power of media barons and their oligarch pals to maintain the concentration of wealth and influence with the 1%.
Karen Snow.
He needs to start his own channel
Good for you Peter. Respect
Searingingly limp questioning from snow/C4N. Oborne’s integrity and moral compass is solid on this.
Mr Oborne a decent,honest,highly intelligent human being.
My parents were committed Daily Telegraph readers for decades (my father read it on the day he died). Both totally swallowed the DT line that man-made climate change was a hoax: they totally trusted what the DT journalists were telling them, even though it flied in the face of what the scientistific experts were saying. One of those journalists – talented writers, but not willing to do the least research into what they were writing about – was none other than a certain Boris Johnson. He, of course, cut his journalistic teeth back in the early 1990s by reporting on the European Community making up stories that would titillate the public but were pure make-believe: he went on to use the same technique to sway the British public to vote "Leave" in 2016. What a legacy. What a grotesque disservice to Britain and the British public, but also what a disaster for the planet and all who live in it.
Am a huge fan of Channel 4 News, but am surprised they didn't fact check the image they show of the Daily Telegraph building, which is of the Daily Telegraph New Zealand (no relation to that published in the United Kingdom). But, otherwise, they're doing a great job in trying to promote the traditional values of journalism and hats off too to Peter Oborne for having the guts to stand up for them.
It's true. Press standards have gone down a lot. And they are run by people who just want to make money (via sensationalism); and since they've gone online it's all about clickbait.
But this isn't a RECENT development. It was covered in Nick Davies' book Flat Earth News, which was published in 2004, and covered examples of press sellout from the decade or two before. 😏
Peter Osborne is a principled journalist.
Mr Oborne dared to criticise the communiques that come from the Politburo, so he is a non person to officialdom.. We passed Orwell some years ago.
Fast forward 7 years and I would suggest Mr Oborne has not only been proved right, but goes to show that we need jounalists like him more than ever, and that is essential, especially now.
Barkley brothers, Yuk!, say no more.
2022 and Peter continues to hold up high levels of journalism.
The telegraph soft strong and thoroughly absorbant
it is the bias by omission that is the main bias in our MSM.
This pathetic man Oborne thinks he is better than everyone else, the same man I heard singing the praises of Iran, he is either totally ignorant or sick, probably both, I can't stand him
Well. That was not at all enlightening
British Newspaper Apologizes For Fake News About First Lady Melania Trump, Pays For Damages And Legal Fees. Socialist rag paper only liberal KoolAide drinking morons read.
rubbish interview of Jon Snowjob, Peter Oborne is like John Pilger an honorable exception to much of the windbags and dittoheads in corporate media and an honorable Tory. check out Media Lens's the UK media critic organization's coverage of this and a revealing interview with Jon Snow http://medialens.org/index.php/alerts/alert-archive/2015/787-peter-oborne.html and http://medialens.org/index.php/alerts/alert-archive/2015/788-a-conspiracy-of-silence-hsbc-the-guardian-and-the-defrauded-british-public.html and http://www.medialens.org/index.php/alerts/interviews/81-interview-with-jon-snow.html
So you could go and work for the Muslim Brotherhood funded Middle East Eye where you can rant and rave about Jews.
Father you are the great physician who promised that you will place none of these diseases upon us. You are our healer, you are our deliverer, you are our way maker. You are our miracle worker.
You said in Isaiah 53:5 that you are wounded for our transgression, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with your stripe, we are healed. Father we decree and declare according to 3rd John Chapter 1:2, ” Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers”. Father I know that thou want me to be healthy. I know you want me to be happy, I know you want me healed, I know you want me to prosper, I know you want me to succeed, I know you want me to walk in optimum health. I know that you want me to live without pain, without hurt, without stress. I know that you want me to live disease free, sickness free, stress free, and therefore I decree and declare according to your word I am healthy and physically fit. Sickness and disease are far from me by your stripes I am healed.
I am healed from every physical, physiological, biochemical, bioelectrical malfunction, from emotional wounds, psychological illnesses, from physical discomfort, from sickness and diseases. I speak Jeremiah 17:14-15 over my life. Heal me oh Lord and I shall be healed, save me and I shall be saved for thou art my praise. Behold they say unto me, where is the word of the lord? Let it come near. You sent your word to heal us from all our diseases. You word is ny unto me this day.According to Psalm 107:20, I declare that I am healed by the word of the Lord. I speak to every part of my body, be healed.
Spirit of infirmity, loose your hold over my life and the life of my loved ones. Let the fountains of infirmity, affliction, discomfort and pain, dry up now! Let poison and and toxins dry our of every part of my body now. Neutralize the negative effects of viruses and bacteria, drugs and medical treatment now! I decree and declare that any and all physiological, biochemical, hormonal, neurological, organic, systemic, cellular or molecular damage sustained from stress, exhaustion, medication, pharmaceuticals, drugs, medical treatment, X-ray, chemo-radiation therapy, monoclonal antibodies, etc. It is reversed now!I speak health and healing over my cells, my organs and systems. I speak healing to my glands, I speak health and healing over my mind. I speak health and healing over my body. I speak that my brain is healed (3:31min).
What a change to see someone let their morels guide them, this is what journalism should be about, it's gone to the gutter over the last decade, I salute you Peter and may many follow in his path for the truth?
"We have no confidence at all in the Barclay brothers who own the paper."
Peter Oborne speaks to Jon Snow about why he resigned from the Daily Telegraph.
typical snide, glib english cynicism – a culture of intellectual and political complacency, more concerned with mindless, petty negativity than independent thought. the 'old warhorse' / old vs new telegraph stuff is the most pertinent line of inquiry jon snow can make about the breaking of this story?
Sanctimonious, self-promoting git. Saying that, I should think he's probably correct.
Jon Snow's tie is fucking awful!
London is a cesspool of fraud with HSBC committing fraud on every level http://youtu.be/ubSc_89gg_U which is very under-reported and this rat faced channel 4 news 'reporter' is trying to suggest that 'Time have changed' LOlz Yeah, the fascist have taking over.
