omg, I've been banned from the newspaper comments section

thinking what was it I said that could have riled people

I implied someone was stupid for not detecting sarcasm . Looks like they really couldn't take a joke.

There is so much agitprop/propaganda/lies out there at moment, I suggest go to sources like BBC and nyt only . Very reliable ones.

Every source of news has some degree of bias, even BBC and NYT, this is especially true when it comes to anything resembling opinion style pieces. Nonetheless BBC is better than most.
