You have to admit though, if someone posted a "Daily Breitbart" article, that would be seen as "political" whether the article was or not. And let's be honest here, ALL news has been politicized in the modern era, especially State run news like BBC.
For what it's worth, I don't have a problem with the BBC articles. If I don't want to read them (which is 99% of the time), I just stay out of the thread. Again though, I can't help but wonder if this would be seen in a different light if it were a "Daily Breitbart" article.
Oh and, aren't the ad hominem attacks actual violations of forum rules?
