Almost as funny as the telegraph paying Melania money.

Telegraph- transitive verb- Definition 3- If someone telegraphs something that they are planning or intending to do, they make it obvious, either deliberately or accidentally, that they are going to do it.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pun

Pun Definition 1- the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound

U see, the name of the paper is the Telegraph, which can mean both -

Telegraph definition 1-noun- "a system of sending messages over long distances, either by means of electricity or by radio signals. Telegraph was used more often before the invention of telephones"

Or the definition 3 which i posted above.

Since its a newspaper its most likely associating itself with the noun version of the word. But i made it seem like it was the transitive verb which would, associate them with making things obvious. Now if something is obvious then people should see it coming. Hence my pun about it being from the telegraph, therefore we should have seen it coming.


Good explanation

Why? She's used to getting paid, she was a high-end escort.

Exactly, they paid her and didn't even get blown. Like I said: funny.

Your statement, while not wholly right, is not completely wrong, either. They are not far right or even far right UK press.

mediabiasfactcheck.com gives them a right-center bias. With a factual rating of High.

Someone should lose their job over this, if not outright be blacklisted from journalism for a time, not fact-checking would soon be discouraged and we might end up with a press we can be proud of and can trust.

going to disagree with the fact check. They were Thatcher paper and the nickname is the Torygraph. The use of broadsheet means they are more credible than a tabloid. Most people in the UK won't wipe there ass on the Torygraph. Google it and see.

"Urban dictionary is more accurate" isn't a ringing endorsement.

it's not completely wrong all broadsheets are pretty accurate on non part political issues in the UK as long as they don't interfere with the editor and owners agenda. The Torygraph will always lean right, the Guardian left. The times right middle, the independent left middle. Simple like you.

You're so angry here, it's unclear why. I'm enjoying it all the same.

They're rated at "right-center" which gels with what you said, so what exactly is Surt flipping over now?
