| Craig Murray has been wrong about factual matters on rare occasions. He has not lost the plot or gone mad with speculation. A recent incident of that is his speculation on why the Prime Minister's SPAD was really in Durham during lockdown, with the assumption this had something to do with a big pharma company in the area and C19 contracts. The evidence is a bit thin for anything linking the SPAD to Smithkline Beecham, but Craig Murray was out there pushing a conspiracy theory, all on his own. However... In any given day the mainstream news in the UK will make assumptions that are lazy and untrue. We could be forever debating any one of these. Those that believe the mainstream news and respect the Overton Window given to them by the BBC will not want to hear that some of it is not true. There is this aspect of rinse and repeat, so the narrative on Russia, Syria, the country formerly known as Libya, Iran, Venezuela, Iraq and even Scotland is very different for people who turn off their television sets, boycott the UK papers and seek out news that better suits them on the likes of Craig Murray's blog. Although Craig Murray has been misguided on occasion, this is a price that has to be paid for anyone who is not bought in to the establishment narrative. I would say lies told by Craig Murray versus lies told by the media is something like a thousand to one. I would say Craig Murray is biased in favour of values of freedom, truth and democracy. The news from the BBC and the likes of Murdoch is not biased that way. |
