Ethics Alarms 
Sky News Australia is conservative leaning. The TDS sufferers wouldn’t be caught dead visiting that site, much less listening to opinions expressed there. They do not trust any conservative source to be accurate, unbiased or free of control by Trump.
It is the message, not the messenger. The facts about Iran and its ongoing attacks on America and Americans are irrefutable. I force myself to watch multiple MSNBC and CNN propagandists in the hope that they may convey some wisdom I would miss if I narrowed my range of sources. My only regular online paper is the New York Times, after all. Iran is an easy call. Our progressive knee-jerk friends won’t admit it it, because they would have to accept that Obama was the failure that he was.
I agree with you about the message.
My point is that the Trump Deranged don’t because, to them, the messenger is the message. My TDS sister will not believe anything shown to her on a government website. Forget about sending her anything from Fox, Newsmax or AmericaOne, she believes anything on our own government’s website has been tampered with by Trump and his cronies.
You force yourself to watch other news sources because you want your range of sources to be broad. They don’t. Whether it’s because they don’t want to throw Obama under the bus or some other reason, a well-reasoned argument on a conservative news site is just biased disinformation to them.
It would be very nice if they were capable of listening to Melanie Phillips with an open mind, but they aren’t because their minds are rammed solidly shut.
There is much longer interview on YouTube on the “Brendan O’Neill Show” where Melanie Phillips expands upon the topics presented in the SkyNews piece.
The willful ignorance of the threat that Islam poses to Western Civilization will not be without consequences. As stated in the piece, many clear-thinking people in the West believe or at least fear that the UK is past the tipping point and headed for oblivion, and that other European countries aren’t far behind.
