IOL more than others, but ok.

The only difference is that we as the consumers of the news are more forgiving on fake news if they align with our own personal agenda.

Depends on the quality of the fake news as well tbh, I mean if it's just a shitty screenshot of a random (and at times photoshopped) Facebook/Twitter post, then most people can at least realise "hey, this is bullshit", but the higher the quality of the disinformation (CNN/Fox News/IOL), the easier it is to fool people...

as for me, I am well capable of deducing fact from fiction so I normally don't use the blanket ban approach on any media house.

Anyway, I still only have a "blanket ban" approach on IOL, Grayzone, Fox News and CNN since they all have an infamous rep for fake news/disinformation/info manipulation. So yeah.

I'm happy for you that you are well capable of deducing fact from fiction.
I guess.

Yes. This is when you know how good the DA actually is compared to the corrupt ANC.

Our MyCadredasians don't have anything else to complain about the DA.

LOL.

If you followed, you would have seen that some DA fans have been keeping this thread alive.

I think they might do what Winde did to Fritz and just punt the guy out of the party/suspend him.

That's a good thing.

At least it looks like the victims are prepared to stand up to the accusations since he has already appeared in court.

The Fritz case is a strange one because I don't think he has even been charged. I honestly don't get it after so much support as been offered for the victims to come forward, something does not smell right.

Food 'joke' sparks latest race row in Cape Town DA

The DA in the City of Cape Town is embroiled in a racial storm after its deputy chief whip Errol Anstey allegedly made racist remarks to fellow party councillor Thandeka Gqada during a caucus session lunch break.

“Errol is a senior councillor, the deputy chief whip. It was wrong of him to make insensitive comments like this, especially as the DA prides itself as a nonracial organisation.

It's racial ... how?

Hey @PrimeSteak - have you guys learnt to eat pap yet? Oops, SAHMRC, here I come ... :laugh:
