This week, at Medium: The question "what the fuck is wrong with British people" has at least one answer: https://judedoyle.medium.com/so-a-top-guardian-editor-was-married-to-the-founder-of-mumsnet-836cddf8fdc4?sk=7aa876c84d01905e8985fa9eb0e57279
So, a Top Guardian Editor Was Married to the Founder of Mumsnet

There have been lots of discussions of transphobia in the media over the past few weeks. Where does it come from? What does it mean? When the New York Times publishes a series of misleading articles…

@JudeDoyle @eileenmnoonan Ohhhhhhhhhh… *removes spectacles, closes eyes, rubs bridge of nose, sighs* …that explains A LOT.
@JudeDoyle this paragraph is *chefskiss*

“Seriously: When do you ever just sit and think about the fact that Ian Katz of the Guardian (recently boycotted for its transphobia) and the BBC (routinely protested for its transphobia) was married to Justine Roberts of Mumsnet (a primary radicalizing hub for UK transphobia) for twenty-five years?”

@JudeDoyle It'll be interesting to see what other TERFs are linked in similar ways.

@JudeDoyle Well. That goes some way to explaining ... something ... at least.

But there are a lot of other senior people at the Guardian culpable for this.

@JudeDoyle breaking news: Tucker Carlson is fucking the founder of Stormfront
@JudeDoyle Great article. I mean… I knew it would be some variation of this. The political class, the political journalist class in a particular country… it’s quite a small world really. It’s very useful to know these specifics though so we can flush the rats out of the system with a targeted campaign of protest and activism. I look forward to a world that is safe for trans folks and by extension everybody who isn’t the image of patriarchy.
@JudeDoyle ohhhhh. That makes sense.
@JudeDoyle Suddenly a lot of puzzle pieces are clicking together...
@AndyPerfors @JudeDoyle Right? What a feeling to have, first thing in the morning. Damn.

i remember the late 80s the massive purge that swept through the media of 'fair and balanced' journalism. all of a sudden one could site or adopt *any* view or posture so long as they treated of other points of view. sets of fact were no longer an issue
